But what about this- He came out of the office as the first robber ran through the drive-through. Conley told the man to stop and fired a warning shot.
If I'm reading this right, the goblin had left the store- might have been a better idea to let him go- and certainly, if you're going to engage a guy holding a shotgun w/a .22, don't fire a warning shot...
Glad the good guys are okay, and a bad guy got dinged, but this guy opened himself up to getting shot, and, depending on the DA/juries in his locale, criminal/civil heartaches.
A far better solution is to keep a .40 or a .45 handy, practice with it, or even better join IDPA and practice there! Then you could go for a center mass hit and be more confident that when you hit him, he won't just "stand up and limp away..."
