The actual gun that the guy was shot with should be included in the settlement. ;)

I don't know... I don't think I'd want a gun that has just proved it can't stop an intruder ;)

And you guys think your .45s are so powerful. Obviously this is one tough 65 year old.

Have there been any updates about the man that was shot in the back?
How is he doing?

Posting in this thread while people are making bad jokes about it, kinda makes me feel sick, even though I'm wearing my internet flak jacket.

Huffington Post added a picture to the story on their website. Good Job HuffPo.

That's a tiny .45! I'm surprised it doesn't have a caption that says "Evil Glock".
