Real Life! Not my cousins pool boy story. One particular night in July of 1995 I had the unfortunate duty of escourting an emotionally disturbed person to a local hospital. There was a special room in back of the ER where restrained EDP's are taken. As per protocol I had to unload my weapons prior to entering the room. While in the process of this me and my partner heard blood curdling screems coming from the ER waiting area. We quickly secured the EDP, reloaded and went to investigate. The hospital security was in the process of wrestling with two men and trying to cuff them. It is not uncommon to see blood in an ER but this was more than usual, all the furniture in the place was covered in it. What it turned out to be was these two guys had just shot it out in the streets not more than a couple of blocks from the Hospital. One shot the other with 7 rounds of .45 Ball and the other shot him with 5 rounds of .25 ACP. The both emptied their guns into each other and then ran in seperate directions. Both of them wound up at the ER at the same time, recognized each other and resumed the fight, without guns this time. They were both eventually sedated and removed to surgery. The guns were never recovered, I was told that the guys refused to press charges against each other. They eventually recovered and were free to roam our great land. The thing that always stuck with me being interested in guns was that the guy shot with 7 rounds of .45 was just as able to fight as the guy shot with 5 rounds of .25. Opposite ends of the handgun sprectrum and both ineffective in this case. I have no moral to this story other than to say I came away realizing that one has to hit a vital organ, nerve center or the spinal cord.
