.35? hmmm. I'm going with a typo on that.

Agreed, most likely a typo. It actually doesn't matter, he and she is alive and the robber is not.

800+ visits from the police in 5 years does seem like an awful lot of activity. The actual lawsuit complaint or whatever you call it notes that the police also made regular expeditions to that particular motel to grab people with outstanding warrants.
Yeah, 6 rounds of .380 make a weak talk compared to .44 magnum.

:tiphat:
Did you find some info that it was a .380 or are you just generalizing?

I haven't run across what kind of handgun it was. The news stories say six rounds, the wife is quoted as saying "until he ran out of ammo" and the lawsuit fudges a bit and says "approximately seven rounds".
The event happened several month ago and there was a more detailed artyicle published on the internet and there is another post on this forum somewhere. I remember it because of the description. Black belt, fomer service man, both reporters,...
