Now that's what I call shooting! And from an 11 year old!

I don't know if he's really that good, or just lucky, but it sure is good to be lucky!

Maybe his daddy's hands were wrapped around his son's when the boy made the one shot stop.

I guess the boy is another confirmation of the .45 being a solid man stopper.

Chance favors the prepared mind...

Well said. Thanks for some good news.

He probably was trained well. A 13-year old was home with his sibling some years ago. Someone broke in the house, he took his sibling and a .357 Magnum to his bedroom and locked the door. The intruder tried to open the door and he popped the miscreant to death. Asked how he knew how to do it, he said "my father taught me!" This child has the good male stuff. You shoot the way you're trained.

Thanks for the flag.

I always enjoy stories like this.

How does that Queen song go..."another one bites the dust, and another one gone...?"

The NRA oughta set up a scholarship fund for that brave little boy. No doubt, hands sturdier than ours were aiming that pistol as well. Tragic story but what an act of nerve and heroism from one so young. I was well acquainted with guns as well at 11 but was no pistolero for sure....

I salute that boy....he did his poor dead pappy proud.
