My interview yesterday with the local NBC news channel.

[ProShooter]

Some of you may not have heard about this, but we (the Richmond area) had an incident on the 4th of July. Someone randomly fired a shot into the air (celebratory gunfire) and the bullet killed a 7 year old boy who was attending a fireworks show.


The local NBC news reporter for Channel 12 called me yesterday morning and asked me to do a piece of celebratory gunfire, bullet travel, and the criminal investigation. The 5pm news version was a bit different, and some stuff got cut due to time. Here's the 6pm news version which was a bit longer.

Inbred Ftards are as ignorant as the Taliban who do the same thing. It is like the morons who get pissed with ranges that won't let them shoot skeet with a 30-06.

On July 4th I had an aquaintance try to tell me that firing straight up in the air was non-lethal. After arguing with him for about 20 minutes I gave up. Fortunately, he has no firearms.

What goes up, must come down. Or does he think that it just floats in midair?

Pretty cool James!

 

[K.C.Dean]

That is definitely one of my pet peeves. Whoever did this needs locked up for a long time. What an idiot.

Some people have no common sense. Birdshot, ok. Bullets, no dice. In any event aim the sh*t downrange away from any humanoids, pets or livestock.

Thank you! I wish that they ran the interview in its entirety because they cut a lot of good stuff....anyway, such a sad story.

I really hope that they catch this guy.

 

[Skins_Brew]

In Elkton, Cecil County on New Years Eve a little girl was killed by someone shooting a handgun to celebrate. I'll never know what the moron was thinking when he did this. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/20...20130103_1_ajs-court-stray-bullet-celebratory

I may be able to. I've got a hook now, well 2 actually. The NBC reporter and one of their news producers who took my NRA Basic Pistol class.

ProShooter, you represented us well.

Thank you, Moose. I appreciate that.

I've been fortunate to have established myself somewhat with the local media for firearms training & safety news stories. I've got a compilation of them here under my bio - http://proactiveshooters.com/about-us/

Very Sad My thoughts and prayers go out to Brendon's Family and Friends

 

[mcbruzdzinski]

I am glad you took the time to give a good interview despite the reduction in time. I would like to see the whole interview if you get a copy.

 

[dapefley]

Agreed, definitely post the whole interview if/when you get it.
