Oregon Firearms Academy – Defensive Handguns
adminBrad attended the Oregon Firearms Academy, defensive handguns class in Brownsville. The instructors were retired police officers, and one still leads the shooting academy for the County Sherriff’s department. Midway through the day, the lead instructor drove into the little town of Brownsville and right into a hostage situation at the local gas station. A guy and his girlfriend had pulled into the station; his girlfriend jumped out of the car and ran away, saying he was crazy. At the same time, a 16 year old girl pulled into the station and he took her hostage. The academy instructor grabbed his AK47 and police were on site within minutes. The standoff only lasted a little while; the guy was shot and killed. This was the local paper article from the following day.
