They shot this guy 11 times! I have no problem with self-defense shooting, but isn't that a bit excessive? I'd love to see if there was any analysis of the angle of the bullets to see if he was still standing though all of this, or if they shot him repeatedly after he hit the ground.
Now, if he was loaded on morphine I can see where he might have been resistant to fall at first, but it strains credulity that he didn't go down after the first half-dozen shots hit him.

It is a movie myth that you are simply suppose to go down and die after a couple of bullets. Having been "loaded on morphine" before, I can assure you that Walker could have been thrown from a motorcycle at 60mph and have felt no pain while loaded on morphine.
Personally, I carry 25 rounds of hard hitting .45 hollowpoints. Do you think that is a bit excessive?

Excessive? Why does it even matter how many times the intruder was hit, or how many shots are fired? The real question is: do I have the right to use deadly force in self-defense or not? If I do have that right then the number of hits is immaterial, since the end result is the same. There aren't varying degrees of "deadness", dead is dead wether from one shot or eleven.
