Man, 66, Shoots Alleged Attacker in Groin

[Common Sense Party]

Arnold Moser, 66, told authorities he was taking his morning walk on South Franklin Road near Airview Road when David Lee Thomas, 24, pulled up alongside him in a vehicle around 5:45 a.m.

Moser said Thomas began using "vulgar" language and told him he needed to get off the roadway. There was a heated exchange, Sheriff Graham Atkinson said.

Moser said Thomas got out of his vehicle and came at him with a fist, at which point Moser fired a single shot and hit Thomas in the groin, Atkinson said.

...Moser generally carries a gun with him when walking, Atkinson said.

6. Mr. Moser needs more range time

Mr. Thomas made a series of poor choices, and paid for it.

7. Maybe not.

We train specifically to make that shot. It's a technique for extremely close quarters that aids in weapon retention. You draw, lock your arm down to your side, rock your body to aim, and fire two shots.
