I'm convinced scumbags and stupid people have an extra "toughness" gene or something that helps them continue on in the gene pool.

Seems like you see a lot of stories like this where lousy thugs manage to live.

Just goes to show a handgun isn't the end all, be all fight stopper we all wish it was.
He lived for 4 minutes after he took round number 17.

17 center mass hits with a .40 and still alive

The guy took 4 hits center mass and was still able to get in his car and start it up.

Remarkably, Palmer had taken 22 hits from Soulis' .40-caliber Glock, 17 of which had hit center mass. Despite the fact that the weapon had been loaded with Ranger SXTs considered by many to be one of the best man-stoppers available Palmer lived for more than four minutes after the last shot was fired. His autopsy revealed nothing more than a small amount of alcohol in his bloodstream. Although Soulis could not have known it, Palmer was wanted for murder in a neighboring state.
