Guess the lump was a pistol
I love East Tennessee. Even the County Commissioners are strapped:
My good friend Greg “Lumpy” Lambert who is also a Knox county commissioner had a little run in today that ended with guns being drawn. I happened to call Lumpy today and got the full story. Lumpy does used car sales for a real job. A customer came and wanted to purchase a car for about 10k. Lumpy was happy to sell but got a little concerned when the person had little interest in having the car checked by a mechanic.
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.

i’m imagining a rather Beavis&Butthead sounding “Huh, uh-oh” followed by:
1. the sound of a cheap .22 hitting the floor
2. A rather wet squish

Reminds me of the Crocodile Dundee movie. A guy pulls out a knife and says, “Give me your money” and then Dundee pulls out a knife the size of a machete and say, “You call that a knife, this is a real knife”.
I would imagine there was a stain on the floor when Lumpy Lambert produced a .380 pointed at the young mans head.

[…] First, Lumpy, now state senator Burchett: State Sen. Tim Burchett says he caught a group of youngsters during a break-in Wednesday, held them at gunpoint and fed them chocolate-chip cookies until Knox County sheriff’s deputies arrived. […]
