So most shooters are just a liability, hey? The video’s scary senior citizen clearly hasn’t spent a lot of time in a “high speed low drag” pistol course lately, but he got the job done anyway.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

It’s hard to be sure but in the video it looks to me like he had his finger indexed as he chased them out the door. If so I’d say he had his shit together. Any word on whether he hit either of the bad guys?

“Dawkins had a superficial wound in his left arm, but Henderson was shot in two places: his left buttock and his right hip.”
Henderson goes on to explain how the gun was rusty and Mr. Williams should not have continued shooting after Henderson fell down (while running away).
I guess those choir boys learned a valuable lesson. Trying to scare people with a nonfunctional gun is usually a really bad idea. I can understand why Mr Henderson is upset that Mr. Williams continued shooting at him after he fell down. Tough, isn’t it? When you point your gun at people sometimes they respond by doing things to you that you don’t like. Life sucks when you’re stupid.
Mr. Henderson is lucky that Mr. Williams didn’t practice much. An oversight I’m sure Mr. Williams is presently addressing.
