Article said he had a .45? .44 magnum is the only choice left for the upgrade!

Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show that Jervis has been arrested 20 times in the state.

On course he is 89 and has a young (54-yr-old) girlfriend — he owns a jewelry store!

Plus, he seems like a food catch in other ways, too!

A .45 four times in the chest???

To heck with the .44 magnum, the proprietor needed a .500 Alaskan or .500 Action Express.

Assailant must have been a Grizzly in human form.

Wonder if he was stoned on PCP....

The perp (who just happened to be black) probably was just there to buy his college graduation ring. There must have been a misunderstanding.

This strikes me as odd:

“Eventually he got back over the counter and asked Lewis to unlock the door so that he could get out. From behind the counter, Lewis remotely unlocked the door, and the guy was gone.”

Half the age of an 89 year old is still not very young.

...but it still violates the "half your age plus seven" rule.

NOPE!

Pops has to be able to get back on target for follow up shots.

Not much chance of that w a .44.

He HAD three/four follow-on shots; they didn’t do the trick.

Maybe a 12 gauge under the counter?
