Why I would not take a .22 to a gunfight
« on: January 01, 2010, 07:04:21 AM »
Warning this video is graphic.

A man shoots his attorney multiple times at point blank range but the attorney initially walks away to collapse some time well after the shooting stopped.

I agree with you Mikey. I would never willingly take a .22 to a gunfight. This poor man is a prime example of that. He would have had much more success with a larger caliber, or even a shotgun. ;) ;D

I was gonna ask what is the best caliber to use on lawyers, but some people don't have a sick sense of humor like me. ;D

When this first came out several years ago, it was reported in the local paper to be a 38??????

I read an article on this shooting shortly after it happened, it said there were two guns involved, he first emptied a .22 caliber derringer, missing with both shots, then fired 5 rounds from a .38 five shot revolver.  Hummmmm,  I guess that means the .38 is not sufficient for a gun fight either……. :o :o :o

Apparently, a larger caliber is required to take down a lawyer.

He either didn't hit him in the right spot and/or didn't use the correct 38 Special ammo. Bad shot on a lawyer equals a bad shot on any other kind of critter. It just don't much matter what caliber your gun is.

I'm thinking that this guy shot the lawyer in the liver and a 38 isn't sufficient to penetrate a lawyers liver. I think they should legislate 357 magnum as minimum caliber for lawyer hunting.

I heard he shot him in the heart, but as most of us know, a lawyer has no heart.  ;)

If that's the case I guess a head shot would be a waste too, huh?
