Crazy story. Shooting a guy 45 times is self-defense? Maybe if you playing a video game. It is amazing how much damage the human body is capable of absorbing. I have been to the scene of nearly 100 car wrecks and I am amazed how a vehicle can be completely shredded and the passengers can be unhurt, or other times, a car will have very little damage and everyone inside is dead. Even stranger are the accidents where everyone is buckled up and one person dies and the other is unhurt.

It can be the same in shootings. Some guys get shot a dozen times and live to tell about it, while others are dropped with a single shot from a pellet rifle. The older I get the more I am starting to believe that when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. Why some people survive and some don't, is beyond my capacity to understand. When it comes to self-defense, there are so many factors. Lot's of practice and solid shot placement are the best chance to stop an attacker, and even that doesn't guarantee success.
