After enjoying each separately, I went through all the links in this thread one time to think about what Gramps did.
1) He racked the slide on leaving his chair, so he likely wasn't carrying one in the chamber.
2) Beginning with his rising from his chair, he continuously moved at and "forced" the perps until they were outside, and then cleared away from the glass front cafe doors . . . which he then quickly locked.
3) Pretty sure he fired 6 shots, which likely emptied his pistol.
4) Dunno what FPS (speed) the security video was taken at, but his recoil control looked pretty good to me lol.
5) At least three wounds were reported on the two perps, ie, "Dawkins had a superficial wound in his left arm, but Henderson was shot in two places: his left buttock and his right hip."
Could be his goal was driving the perps out of "his house" from the gitgo. Or he might have closed with perp#1 to avoid endangering nearby customers, and the rest of his "plan" evolved from there.
I give him props. I'd like to think I'd have drawn, racked, and fired twice at the start . . . but I don't know if I would have chanced getting as close to the perp as he appeared to.
I'd also like to think I'd have continued doing *something* until the perps were outside "my house", and "my people" were safe. My first thought was maybe I wouldn't have emptied the mag. But once you get out of that chair to face two guys who have at least one gun . . . it would have been foolhardy to do less than he did.
Not to "profile" or anything . . . but they were wearing hoodies
