NRA Hails Gun-Slinging Reagan

Waving a .45-caliber gun, a young Ronald Reagan confronted an armed mugger and saved a young woman from being robbed or worse.

The story of Reagan's heroism was recently revealed by the NRA's online newsletter. The report recalled how the future president became a hero to Melba King, then a 22-year-old nursing student in Des Moines, Iowa. The year was 1933, soon after Reagan moved to Des Moines to start a career as a radio sportscaster.
King was walking home one night when a mugger came up behind her with a gun and demanded her money.

A sharp-eyed Reagan saw the incident when looking out a second-story window, grabbed a .45-caliber revolver, pointed it at the mugger and shouted, "Leave her alone or I’ll shoot you right between the shoulders!” The robber fled.

Reagan then walked the young woman home.

Cool story and really doesn't surprize me very much as Ronald Reagan was a man of courage and high morals. It's a shame we will probably never see another man like him again.
