Fearing for his life, he shot the intruder 14 times and tried to reload his gun as the suspect climbed out the window and ran around the corner.
"No. Because this is the way it had to go down. His days were numbered, by the way. His days were numbered. If not me, he would have gotten somebody. If he had a weapon I would have gone down or he would have gone down," said the clerk when asked if he regretted shooting the man and killing him.
Okay this guy is going to jail!!
He could have been using a Para P14... but I can't imagine the burglar who could soak up 14 rounds of .45 and still be moving.He must've been using a 9 mm.
Boy needs to learn to keep his mouth SHUT until his lawyer gets there...

3. There is no substitute for .45 JHP's.
Do not forget the luck factor. Friend of mine got killed with the last round that some asshat cylinder-dumped at him out of a .357. First 5 rounds went through the roof of the bus... last one hit Harve in the back of the head.A skilled shooter with a .22 is a LOT more deadly than a novice with a .44 Magnum.
ANYONE can get lucky; never forget.

I'd take my chances.
You NEVER want to face a gun-wielding aggressor when you're armed only with a .22. Not to dump on you Andy but I see statements like yours a lot and they're flat out wrong.
A skilled shooter with a .22 can score plenty of hits, and the aggressor might very well die - but days later from an infection.
Give me my trusty 10mm and I'd rather go against a skilled shooter with a .22 than a novice with a .44 mag any day.
even if the guy was hit 14 times, it doesn't necessarily mean it was center-of-mass, 10 of those rounds could have hit the guys arms and legs for all we know.
Reloading is prudent if you run out of ammunition.
It can be prudent even if you don't run dry.

14 shots in the center of body mass at 15 ft ought to put a person down (eventually if on drugs) no matter what the caliber (maybe even including 22LR).
I suspect we are dealing with a person who is a very bad shot, and not with a caliber problem. Any clue as to where the shots landed?
One thing is for sure: none of the fourteen hit an essential organ. Ergo, the guy did not shoot very well. I am not saying I will be able to do better if my adrenaline is up.
Why do we have to immediately bash the 9mm?
Enough said. I am not looking for a caliber war! I will not trust .45 more than 9mm no matter what you (.45ACp lovers) have to say. Revolver calibers (357 mag, 44 mag etc).........that's another story!
