Reply #5: LOL that's what I was thinking, too.

I was brought up to believe you supposed to shoot a gun ... not hit somebody with it.

That's what I was thinking as I read the article, too - why didn't he shoot the perps. But it's probably not surprising - with no training he just acted on instinct and used it as a club. My guess is once the perps figured out that now he had the gun, that was enough to send them running.
