A good result. Not the best result, but a good result.
The guy had the presence of mind to be at the right place at the right time with the right equipment. He just couldn't get it pointed in the right direction. But, hey, four out of five ain't bad!

At least there has to bee some crap laying around somewhere nearby. Shooting a .45 in a confined space like described must have sounded like a Abrams A1A firing.

Agreed, forgot to put my hearing protection on at the indoor range recently. WOW, one shot from my 629 Smith instanly reminded me to cover up. Man did that hurt!

That's why practice is so very important.

My wife wants to know if the .45 was a single shot pistol. She says shoot until you hit something.

That bleeds. Well, that changes things. Hope I'm not standing near her if she misses her primary target. ;)

From asleep to firing standing at the kitchen door, firing, in the same amount of time it takes an idiot burgler to break down a kitchen door. I say this Homeowner gets a Gold Star.
He doesn't have a trophy to mount on the wall, but he can always point at the hole in the kitchen cabinet and tell the funny story.
How about that as a rule? If you shoot a perp on your own property, you're allowed to bring him down to the taxidermist to have him stuffed and mounted...

This is why we need strict gun control. I mean really, how could you miss a target at less than 25 meters?
Gun control = PRACTICE.

Just had an robbery attempt last Friday near where I now live. The guy was looking for cash (of course) and cold pills. It was a drug store. Anyway, the cops show up, the guy fires 10 rounds at the cops, the cops fire 3 rounds at the robber and plug him all three times. The guy is in Vegas getting patched up and if he survives, he can tell his story to the rest of his inmates.

Tell her he killed the cabinet. :) Now, the guy is really in deep doo-doo. He'll have to pay for having the whole kitchen remodeled. (You used to be able to build a house for what a 'new' kitchen costs these days.)
