I think my gun may be "famous"
For anyone watching "Most Shocking High Speed Pursuits" on Court TV right now, the first scene was a Fort Bend County Deputy chasing a guy in a white Chevrolet crew-cab truck. They take some shots at the deputy, and he "pulls his assault rifle from under the dash" and takes some shots. They get on the freeway, and the criminal ends up wiping out and then jumps over the guardrail to the ground 20 feet below. The deputy is one I sold my Bushmaster to a couple of years ago, for him to carry on patrol! I couldn't tell from the video what rifle it was (they show it when he got out of the car), but I betcha that was it. I'm going to try to track him down and find out. He's a friend of a friend that introduced me to him. That's pretty cool!

It'll cost more to mail that check, than the check itself...jbirds1210 wrote:A friend of a friend should be willing to pay you royalties.

But since your Deputy friend used it!

As being discussed on another forum (right, Springmom?), here's the video. No not the one where the cop in the truck runs the guy over, but the other one.

Cool story. So, details on the inside story on the shooting. Where did the rounds go that he fired into the cab? Did he shoot left handed? Did his seatbelt hinder the shots? Was he aware of traffic that was crossing his field of fire (a white truck passed by just before the shots in one take and during the shots on the second take--problems syncing the audio track). Did he have a spare magazine? After the car wrecked, did he notice the other officer on the driver's side door that put himself into your buddy's line of fire on the girl? Where did her rounds fired at him earlier go?
We want inside details!

I don't know the answers to any of your questions, but I'd like to. I sold the Bushy to him almost 2 years ago, and haven't spoken to him since. I just saw this on the "Most Shocking" show on CourtTV last Wednesday, and recognized him. Here's the thread on another forum where it's being discussed. I said all I can say about it there.
