Damn Dad: When you Shoot..Shoot to Kill..
With a 22LR, really! Not going to kill much with a 22LR, unless you are much closer or one hell of an aim to getem between the eyes. I would have pulled out the 12 gauge pump and blasted away, or maybe the S&W 626 .357 unloaded and then dropped in another speed load and went another round. Better chances to dropping one of the thugs, over a 22LR.
