Hardly a hero? Vic Stacy rejects the label, claiming he only did what had to be done

RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS
Vic Stacy never served in the military, and he never had any police training.
But when a gunman shot and killed a couple in the RV park where they all lived Sunday afternoon, Stacy reacted with the composure — and the marksmanship — of a man who had been training for such a moment all his life.
He’s a hero, many Brown County residents are saying.
His actions probably saved the life of the first policeman on the scene — Early Police Sgt. Steven Means — as well as others living at the Peach House RV Park north of Brownwood Regional Airport, Brown County Sheriff Bobby Grubbs said.
Even Stacy concedes that his actions prevented an even greater tragedy.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
