Les Jones: Knox Commissioner Greg "Lumpy" Lambert Outdraws Bad Guy

East Tennessee > Knox Commissioner Greg "Lumpy" Lambert Outdraws Bad Guy

The customer went out side to smoke a cigarette. Lumpy went outside to tell him it was time to do some paper work. When the man came back in Lumpy had a bad feeling and had his hand on his gun he keeps on him at most all times. The man started to pull his gun.....Bad move. Lumpy does quick draw competitions for fun and had his gun pointing down the criminals throat before the criminal had his own gun half drawn. After some harsh words the criminal dropped his gun.
He began to ask for his drivers license back but Lumpy told him to get out and be happy he got out alive. The police caught up to him a few hours later and he confessed.

Lambert was apparently wearing his "Friends of the NRA" hat at the time. This is what gunwriter Massad Ayoob likes to call "a failure of the victim selection process."

NOV 13 UPDATE: Today's Knoxville News-Sentinel has the details.

A LITTLE LATER: Betty Bean has an even better writeup in the Halls Shopper.

NOV 14: Betty Bean found the suspect's MySpace page.

I saw this in the Tennessean and almost fell out of my chair laughing. In my opinion, the best line was, "Lambert, a National Rifle Association Member who has a ball cap from the group..."

I think the .380 was more convincing than the ball cap.
