Funny Short Story

A Beretta Testimonial

A Beretta Testimonial.

Woman stops gator attack with a small Beretta pistol.

This is a story of self control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber that you would trust to protect yourself?

Here is her story:

While out walking along the edge of a bayou just below Houma, Louisiana with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator suddenly emerging from the murky water and charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because the alligator was extremely aggressive.

If I had not had my little Beretta Pistol with me I would not be here today! Just one shot to my husband’s knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It’s one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus … the amount I saved in lawyer’s fees were more than worth the purchase price of this gun.

Cop Of The Year: Captain Clay Higgins

This guy is awesome!

Enjoy!

Burglary report of Muller Electric in Opelousas and Savoie Sausage in Port Barre. Just check out his stance.

Capt. Clay Higgins from St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, is know as the “John Wayne” of Cajun country. His straight talk directly to criminals has led to arrests, and Internet fame, reports CBS News’ David Begnaud.

In addition to patrolling the streets of St. Landry Parish, Higgins hosts a weekly “Crime Stoppers” segment for a local news show.

In one video, Higgins spoke directly to thieves who robbed a store for cigarettes.

“If you’re one of these idiots, pay attention son, and try to focus and listen to your elder,” he said in the video. “What you fellas are is the Virginia Slim gang cause you’re certainly not Marlboro men.”

The segments, seen regularly by an audience of 90,000, created a local folk hero.

But it was when one video about a robbery in Lebeau, Louisiana, hit YouTube in July that Higgins became an Internet star; it’s been viewed by more than 5 million people.

“The sheriff likes Stelly’s Restaurant and so do I,” he said in that video. “We’re going to identify you, arrest you and put you in a small cell. After that, I’m going to have a cheeseburger here with fries and a coke and leave a nice tip for the waitress.”

Higgins’ home base is in Opelousas, Louisiana, the heart of Cajun country, famous for its music, cooking and culture.

But Higgins said there’s not a drop of Cajun in him.

Before he was chasing suspects, the New Orleans native was chasing money.

“I had the trapping of success. I was — I had money,” he said. “I was a very successful businessman, but wasn’t fulfilled in my spirit and I knew there was another path for me.”

That path, he said, led him to law enforcement.

“I went from a job making $144,000 a year to making $8 an hour as a cop,” he said.

His cowboy charm is intimidating and effective.

Nine people have turned themselves in the past year, including 20-year-old Chance Carroll.
