When police in Navarre, Florida received a call for a noise complaint, they arrived to find a bleeding man running toward them along with his girlfriend. The man's groin was dripping blood, and he was screaming that he'd been shot...

Amanda Kelly told a deputy that her dad, William Russell Kelly Jr., had shot her boyfriend Randall Carter at their home. The reason for dad's ire, according to the younger Kelly: "He hates him, dude."

William readily admitted to the shooting, but claims a different motive. He says he unloaded his .45 revolver, which he affectionately calls "The Judge," because Carter was assaulting this daughter. "I shot him in the nuts with bird-shot because he was beating my daughter," Kelly told police.

He's been charged with aggravated battery. Carter, meanwhile, has already received his sentence for messing with an armed man's daughter.

Ouchie wow wow. That hada hurt....

I hate to say it, but I think it would be incredibly gratifying to shoot the complete privates off of an abuser.

I’m thinking this will be pulled.

As the father of four lovely daughters and one son, this sounds completely justifiable to me.

Not guilty.

"The Judge" is a model made by Taurus. It shoots 45 Colt or 410 shotgun shells. Some bird shot in the 410 would do some serious damage to the "jewels".

Haven’t heard of .45 rounds filled with birdshot before...

He got medieval on his rear end.

"You hear me talking Hillbilly Boy?"
"I'm going to get medieval on your ass!"

Well, you answered my question while I was posting it. A .45 pistol shooting birdshot is new to me...

[gimme1ibertee]

Dad’s way of saying, “Nuts to you,punk!”

[rightly_dividing]

Birdshot, my dad would have used rock salt.

I’m thinking this will be pulled. >>>>>>>

He says he unloaded his .45 revolver, which he affectionately calls "The Judge,"

Now that there is funny!

[Pan_Yan]

I can’t officially condone the father’s actions, but privately I can give a little understanding smile.

[Myrddin]

You can purchase .45 Colt, .45Auto, .38SPL and a few other revolver cartridges loaded with a birdshot shell in place of the bullet.

Called “ratshot”. Appropriate in this case.
