"According to this story he had a permit to carry a .38 that he usually had on his person, but wasn't carrying that particular day. It also reports he had an "ex-cop bodyguard" who also usually tagged along with him. Who knows if it's the truth or all hype about the "bodyguard", the guy could've just been an old pal."

No gun he must have ran out of bullets. Cop as a body guard. My dead mother would be better then a cop.
