Police Shoot Out In My City
Any police officer — who isn’t a scaredy-cat — is invited to participate in a “Police Shootout” Monday at Gunny’s Indoor Shooting Range, 2208 E. Broadway Ave., Maryville. Co-owner David Perry sent out a a flyer inviting all officers to find out “who’s the best.”
The flyer also includes a challenge from Maryville Police Capt. Mike “Mad Dog” Johnston, who claims other local departments quit competing in shooting competitions in the mid-1990s because they “got tired of being beat by Maryville” Police Department. There was a loss of interest because ”it really wasn’t that much of a competition,” he taunted.
“My challenge is to come compete and see if you can take away the bragging rights for a year,” Johnston said.
Gunny’s website is here. I may have to check it out.

For anyone who lives around here, do yourself a favor and go to Gunny’s.
It is an outstanding range with great people running it.
I plan to start doing a lot of shooting there.
