The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides
being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or
funny.
Fargo, North Dakota:
A candidate for sheriff has challenged his opponents to a shootout,
calling it a test of a law officer's ability to protect the public.
"Clearly, being the best shot doesn't necessarily make you the best
sheriff, but I think it proves a point," Ken Schwab said Tuesday.
Schwab wants the four other candidates to meet him June 1 at a
shooting range. Each will fire 24 rounds at targets to determine the
best shot, Schwab said.
The challenge could be a problem for one candidate -- a well-known
local tax protester and convicted felon who's not allowed to possess
a firearm.
