#4 Years ago, I think maybe maybe the mid 90's a guy got shafted pretty badly on an oil deal, impoverished really. He was an Okie and this wasn't his first rodeo but the chicanery was public and blatant to the point of being arrogant. That and increasingly threatening to the pigeon in our tale.

Turns out the newly broke investor was not happy with his role as pigeon and waited until the boys were having a board meeting, south of Tulsa towards Okmulgee. He decided to join the festivities and even had the presence of mind to bring his .357.

He shot at least one of them and I think more if memory serves. All non-life threatening wounds predominantly to the calf region. Of course a .357 to the calf at close range has it's own difficulties.

He then called the law, put the gun down and waited. He was arrested alright but when he got his day in court the judge heard him out, decided it was his only recourse and he walked with some kind of admonition to the effect that shooting people wasn't a very nice thing.

I dunno, something just made me think of it.
