Retired US Army Special Forces “Green Beret” member James T Taylor was recently tried for “failing to use a weapon of sufficient caliber”. The former Special Forces Weapons Sergeant, who had seen the elephant in both Korea (when it was hot) and Vietnam (when it was hotter), was called to defend his home at 4:30 in the morning recently when an intruder surprised him. In self defense the 79 year old shot the suspect with a 22 rimfire (5.5mm) handgun in the forehead. The round bounced off but the suspect was wounded and later caught by the police in a nearby hedgerow. Special Forces Weapons Sergeants are masters of operating and maintaining a wide variety of U.S., Allied and even captured foreign weaponry. They are proficient with all high-density light and heavy weapons; selecting weapons placements and sites; and assigning targets and areas of fire. In short, they are the wrong type of individual you want to meet across the wrong side of a gun barrel at 4:30 in the morning!

Sergeant Taylor’s local Special Forces Association Chapter held a tongue in cheek court marshal for using such a small gun. The Sergeant stood by his decision and was defended. The prosecutor argued that using a larger weapon would have killed the intruder and saved the public the cost of incarceration.

Sergeant Taylor beat the rap.
