Too funny, perhaps a .22 mag would be a happy middle ground?

A .22 is a great weapon for accuracy as the shot between the eyes show. I'd suggest he use a magnum cylinder next time with copper hollow points. They won't bounce off.
But, seriously, kudos to the old guy for a well placed and accurate shot. Most of us couldn't do that well under stress.

Perhaps the security that can be ripped down should have been on trial.

Remember this?
"No need to let something like that live."
~J.C. Adams~
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - When 74-year-old J.C. Adams saw three would-be robbers walk into his convenience store, he grabbed his shotgun with one hand and balanced himself on his walker with the other. On a surveillance monitor, he saw two men and a woman hold up an employee at the cash register Thursday night. That's when Adams pushed his walker to the front of the store and confronted the armed suspects, killing one man and wounding the other. An employee held the woman until police arrived.
"No need to let something like that live," said Adams, who had been wounded in a May 2000 robbery attempt in which he killed another intruder.
In his 26 years as owner of the Pac A Sac, a convenience store in a middle-class suburb just off Lawrenceville Highway, Adams has been robbed 12 times. He keeps the shotgun nearby now as he watches the store monitors. The walker he uses because of a recent knee surgery.

Great story. Everyone knows that a .22 only serves to aggravate the delicate psychological balance of a situation. A .45, however, is single-session therapy.
