Officials in Cowlitz County say a
southern Washington man managed to keep a pair of suspected burglars at
bay until the cops showed up. Now, the local sheriff's office is
applauding his efforts.

Lahti, gun in hand, told the two men to get on their knees. Not only did
he detain them until deputies arrived, he says his phone was not
working, so he had one of the men call 911 on themselves. A spokesperson
for Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office says the citizens' arrest is an
example of the benefits of someone arming themselves safely, legally and
with proper training.

ReplyDeleteAt one time the local sheriff's department considered contracting with me to teach all of the local officers to shoot better and teach them my technique. several years later they started harassing me for all kinds of things, just to bully. I reminded them who I was and the harassment stop instantly. I guess some of them remembered my demonstration.
