Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Vic Stacy
Vic Stacy, who saved a police officer’s life by applying his Second Amendment rights against an armed maniac, describes how Americans behave in parts of America that are still part of America:
On tips from AC.
Did he put three shots on target with a .44 Magnum pistol from 160 yards?
I sure wish he were my neighbor…
Sounds like he managed to put 5 rounds in the offender from 160 yards…. Most impressive.
He didn’t say, but I’d guess it was probably a deer rifle (many of which have magnum calibers). At that range any pistol would be hard pressed to hit a target once, much less five times.
Good ole Boy!!!
It was a .357 pistol. I’m guessing they meant feet, not yards.
This is what came to mind for me

Deerfield rifle if memory serves ?
But one can never tell

He said he shot from 165 yds and hoped the magnum bullet would hold up that distance.
Marines Set New Record with 22-Mile Shot
Quick News Military- 07.10.2012
Story by: dabneybailey
A Marine unit broke records by hitting a group of Taliban insurgents with a 22-mile artillery shot, Marine Corps Times reports. And you think you’re a good shot? Pfft – this shot was farther than most people’s commute to work.
Golf Battery, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, California launched a 155mm M982 Excalibur round on a group of Afghani insurgents. They fired the round out of an M77 howitzer at Forward Operating Base Zeebrugge, in Kajaki, launching the shot 36 kilometers into the neighboring Musa Qala district. The GPS-guided round was able to maintain its accuracy over an incredibly long distance and strike the Taliban insurgents out of the blue.
Not only did this set a record as the longest operational artillery shot in the history of the Marines, but it was also the longest shot with an Excalibur round, according to David Brockway of Raytheon Missile Systems, which is one of the companies involved in the development of Excalibur rounds.
The Excalibur round is specially designed to maintain accuracy up to 37.5 kilometers (23.3 miles) away. The rounds are jam-resistant, capable of being fired in all weather conditions, and can be fired at targets within 500 feet. Basically, anybody planning to take out a howitzer has to brave 20 miles of no-mans-land in order to reach the target.
The Marines ordered over a thousands of these rounds back in 2011, and they’ve been squeezing them off ever since. Evidently, they’re getting more and more accurate.
(Remember that libs, the military is on OUR side, NOT yours.)
Excellent. Our boys will be able to neutralize the goathumpers without getting close enough to be sickened by the stench.

The ultimate goal in war is to break the enemies will to fight.
That should about do it.
If he’s not from Texas, he should be.
He’s a badass old guy, and yet he describes himself as an ordinary citizen. God bless him for having some balls. I hope when the Bolsheviks come to try to take our guns, they are going to meet up with an entire country of gun toting badasses!
He said 55 yards or about 165 feet. Still a damn good shot.
@Dave White, The Bolsheviks are already here, and they control roads, bridges, electric power, water and almost all communications, including food and fuel distribution.
The operators of armed drones will be live-fire training in N. Dakota in September, and some Marine units are now training for police work inside of the U.S. The press and unions are under control of these Bolsheviks, so much of U.S. weekly income and information is directly controlled. The relative few in the population that know the breach end of a gun from the muzzle (much less how to point it in the right direction) do not have even the skeleton of a plan to resist martial law crackdown, which may be expected around the middle of October, if not sooner.
God Bless this ol’ boy. Reminds me of my Grandfather and every man and most women) in his small Iowa town. Pure duty to his community.
He didn’t shoot Conner at 160 or 165 yards. The RV park in question isn’t even that size and given its layout, any longer range shooting would likely be hampered by obstructions such as trailers, out buildings, vehicles, and trees.
He may have shot at 165 feet, still pretty good, but he did not shoot the suspect at 165 yards.
