Ret. Green Beret court-martialed after shooting burglar with .22

The charges: failure to use a weapon of sufficient caliber. I'd have thought conviction was a certainty on those facts, but he had a good lawyer.

Hat tip to Budd Schroeder...

Nothing better than a bunch of hard guys. No whining about how Mr. Perp had a rough childhood and his mommy didn't hug him enough from this outfit.

The question is, Why would anyone use a .22?


In my opinion, Taylor was worried about waking the neighbors. He probably lives in one of those noise ordinance neighborhoods and saved himself a $250 fine.


If it were me I would have used a 9mm Hydra Shock and a large pillow!


Let me know if you can thing of a better way...

Um...how about Glock 19, AAC Spyder Suppressor, and 147 grain ammo.

That's what I have, anyway.

I think the problem is that he shot the perp BETWEEN the eyes, I feel the problem would have been solved if he had moved his point of aim a bit left or right.

And given his background I am sure he could have done that. :)
