Many years ago I bought my first property in Thailand, it was in Bangkapi Bangkok. A cop lived a few doors down from me.  He told me to be careful as there was an intruder in our area. The following day he told me he seen the intruder the previous night and when he tried to arrest him the intruder took off. Around one week later he told me the intruder is around again. So that night he stayed awake all night tooled up for the challenge. I was woken that night by several shots so I knew where they were coming from. I was on my early morning walk next day, I counted 4 bullet holes in the cops car, there was no sign of a body, blood stains or the cop.

I shot 100 deer, so that theory is kaput.

With a handgun, while the deer were charging you at close range?

Not convincing me, work on others though who are clueless about hunting in the USA. 

I don't need to convince you. It is what it is. Hunting is my deal, along with fishing, and I've done both over 50 years. Not hard to get a couple deer a year if you know how.

Especially if the Good Guys have decent firepower. 13" Remington 12g with Surefire forend lights for example.

Actually only one deer came straight at me, and if I didn't shoot him, he would have run over me.Most were with a crossbow and rifle, some with shotgun and bow.

It's not a tough guy to shoot 100 deer. That's a hobby. Tough is what you make yourself training for 50 years.And I don't make anything up as what's the point?

Crocheting and knitting are also hobbies

True, but I prefer hunting, fishing, weight training, music and movies.

Back on topic. I'm inclined to believe that the Sergeant then facing a knife swinging attacker directly in front of him, pulled his pistol and shot directly centre mass. It was only by chance the attacker was hit in an arm and not the chest.

My wife knew a family in Pennsylvania.   The men in the family would kill 1 deer for each hunting season in Pennsylvania, during bow season, black powder season, and rifle season.  Then they would pay for out of state license to hunt in Maryland, and bag 1 deer each hunting season,  during bow season, black powder season, and rifle season.   That's 6 deer each year for just one person.

My ex brother in law let me shoot his .38 revolver one time.   At 15 feet he missed a 6 inch by 12 inch board that I had put a black, 1 inch diameter dot on.   I thought the sights adjustable sights were off.    I missed the black dot by 1 inch when I shot it.
