A real shooting talent, he must have had nerves of steel.
Brady, or one of his gang members, had visited a sporting goods store and tried to buy a machine gun
I learned to shoot a revolver in my teens from an old former BATF agent and Pinkerton man. He was especially good at instinct shooting, but a crack shot slow fire, too. He had killed five men I knew of, three at once when he his train stopped in a small town and he stepped off to check telegrams. Bank robbers had forgotten to time the train, and their getaway car was on the other side, racing to get around and pick them up. They had shotguns, and Pete just drew his .38 and told them to drop everything. They decided to shoot it out at 25 yards, and none of them got off a shot.
Hey, if you ever come back Boone way, I have to put you up at a cabin overlooking Rumbing Bald and Lake Lure.
