Book Description
Largely unknown except in a few law enforcement circles, Jelly Bryce was in the forefront of the conflict during America's gangster era. Many of his life's adventures read like tales of fiction but they aren't. While others posed for the cameras and gave press interviews, this is one of the men who really did the job. As an Oklahoma State Game Ranger, Oklahoma City Police Detective and FBI Agent for over 30 years, Bryce was the man responsible for creating the FBI's first firearms training program, developing their concealed holster, their fast-draw techniques and personally trained hundreds of their agents. Hired by the FBI without any college, his training duties were incidental. He was involved in 19 shootings in the line of duty. In one, he confronted a gangster pointing a loaded gun at him and shot the man five times before he could pull the trigger.
