My father worked for the ODFW as a Game Warden for 30+ years. Often, he would be working with a member of the State Police's game division. On one such occasion they got a call that an escaped murderer was on the run in the area, armed and very dangerous. They were told to block one of the forest roads near them that he could have used to get away. When they got to their assigned position, The Trooper parked the truck across the road. They got out and he moved the seat back forward. He reached in and pulled out a Browning Auto5 and loaded it with slugs. Then he reached in, pulled out an M2 carbine and 2 magazines and handed them to my dad. His instructions to my dad: "If I start blasting, just hose him down, both mags. I'll wait in front of the truck, you go hide in the trees next to the road." Luckily, the guy was caught without bloodshed 50 miles away from them. After they got the all clear, my dad convinced his buddy to let him shoot it, just to try it out. He said it was fun.
