Super cowboy hat

He may be all hat and no cattle, but he can disarm a robber and not lose the hat!

There are still some real men in this country, and lots of them wear coboy hats.

I have a running joke with my wife that at any time of day or night all over the world there is a man wearing a cowboy hat in all major airports.

Just stand in an airport long enough and one will walk by.

wow!!

he took a big risk. he tackled that idiot when the idiot had the hammer back and the gun was aimed at that other person. if it had gone off at the initial content, that video would have filmed the bullet hitting that person.

(unless i'm seeing it wrong)

love it, they dragged his A$$ back in the store. hope they worked him over.

don't mess with cowboys, those guys are tough, they wrestle bulls, hoses or anything else with 4 legs. something with 2 legs is just a warm up.

It could not have happened in Mexico. It is illegal to own a handgun there.

Yes but the lax gun laws in neighboring states make it easy to bring in illegal guns.

One brave Hombre! And the crim tries to rob the guy in the cowboy hat and then gets distracted.

(Much better video. You actually see him stripping off his hoody in this video)

One of my dad's nicknames was 'Cowboy'.

On account of his hat.

Biggest John Wayne fan I ever met. Dad is on the right:

I would bet anyone over the age of 40 knows that.

I've actually been with him when somebody did come up to him and ask him if he were Willie.

In his younger days he looked like Chuck Connors, too.
