I’m sure you recognize the fellow pictured above. His name is Norman Reynolds, he’s from Elkhart, Indiana<\/a> and he was arrested there a few weeks ago for shooting at two shoplifters;<\/p>\n

Reynolds, who served 24 years in the Army and Air Force and has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, told ABC57 reporter Taylor Popielarz that he pulled out his gun to try to keep the suspects from getting away. He said the suspect who was in the passenger seat vanished from sight momentarily and Reynolds was afraid he might reappear with a weapon. He told ABC57 that he shot at the truck once just behind the passenger seat in an effort to frighten the suspect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted them to stay there until the police arrived,\u201d Reynolds said.\u201cI figured if he had a weapon, he wasn\u2019t gonna use it then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reynolds told the TV station that he has handled firearms for 45 years and that he never intended to shoot anyone. \u201cThere\u2019s no way the bullet was going anywhere else\u201d other than the truck, he said.<\/p>\n

Since the incident, Reynolds, whose next court date is early next year, has kept a low profile and no longer carries a gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m glad he’s not carrying a gun if he thinks that shoplifting carries a death sentence. But, yes he is a veteran. This is what he was wearing in that jacked-up uniform he had on;<\/p>\n

\"Reynolds,<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

His records say that he earned most of that stuff, but that he doesn’t have master jump wings – there is no mention of jumpmaster training. <\/p>\n

I think I remember something about the XVIIIth Airborne Corps’ Recondo Schools becoming their PNCOC back in the day and that’s probably why he’s wearing the 101st Recondo patch. But, yes, he even has the Expert Infantryman Badge. He got out of the Air Force as an E-6 Technical Sergeant.<\/p>\n

So, yeah, you can light him up for wearing his uniform like a homeless bum, but, other than the Master Jump wings, it looks like he earned the rest of it. And those boots. Screw him with those boots.<\/p>\n
