Gun therapy hits unexpected snag

[james_davis_nicoll]

[Chris Kyle] returned home to become a best-selling author and a mentor to other veterans, sometimes taking them shooting at a gun range near his Texas home as a kind of therapy to salve battlefield scars, friends said. One such veteran was Eddie Ray Routh, a 25-year-old Marine who had served tours in Iraq and Haiti.

But on Saturday, far from a war zone, Mr. Routh turned on Mr. Kyle, 38, and a second man, Chad Littlefield, 35, shortly after they arrived at an exclusive shooting range near Glen Rose, Tex., about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth, law enforcement authorities said Sunday. The officials said that for reasons that were still unclear, Mr. Routh shot and killed both men with a semiautomatic handgun before fleeing in a pickup truck belonging to Mr. Kyle.

Teflon coating for barrel exteriors as well. Let's see them get a grip on that!

I've long been arguing that the only sensible form of home defense weapon is the davy crockett man portable nuclear artillery rocket.

You can't sit on your bayonet, but nothing ensures politeness quite like a Man Portable Nuclear Deterrant (or MANPOND for short).

You used to think of the Alamo when you thought of Davy Crockett. Now you will remember the Afterglow TM from the hole where your enemies once stood!

a great idea!

With a deadman switch, just in case they get any fancy ideas about shooting first!
