Firearm trivia.

[1911]

Apparently Gaston Glock is a tough old boy. Thought this was an interesting tidbit.

In July 1999 Charles Ewert, a business associate of Glock, hired a French ex-mercenary to murder Glock (who was 70 years old at that time with a mallet in a garage in Luxembourg in an apparent attempt to cover up embezzlement of millions from the Glock company.

Although Glock's injuries included seven head wounds and the loss of about a litre of blood, Glock was able to fend off the attack by striking the hitman twice. The hired killer, 67-year-old Jacques P?cheur, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the attack. Charles Ewert was sentenced to 20 years as a result of P?cheur's testimony.

...and there ya have it. The rest of the story.

So much for gun control preventing violence. Oh the irony! Like Archie Bunker said when his daughter told him that so many people were killed by guns every year: "Would you prefer they be thrown out of windows?"
