Bradley Harvell, an 82-year-old WWII veteran, points to the area near his television where he shot and killed an invading robber late Sunday night July 19, 2009 south of Bristol in Liberty County, Fla. Harvill said the man, dressed like a western-style "train robber", forced his way into his home and demanded money, shocking him with an electrical device. A scuffle ensued when Harvill didn't produce enough money, and he shot the invader twice, killing him. (PHIL SEARS/Democrat)Ah, you've just gotta love it when the victim selection process breaks down. Good guys win, bad guys take a dirt nap. And it reinforces the message: Don't mess with a veteran unless you want to get your dumb ass shot.
Dead Goblin Count: 22.
That is all.
Thanks to poster "baldkat82" on NES for pointing out #22 in this thread.

I picture the tool used to cancel above birth certificate as a WWII Issue M1911A1 with the muzzle worn silver from decades of use.
That's how it looks in my eyes, but if that isn't the case, a rose by any other name...
From the story it's a .357 Magnum revolver.
Extra props if it was a Snubbie from Hell...
Not only was Our Hero using a .357 to defend himself, he scored a head shot. Even on the very best of days, a .357 to the melon's gonna leave a mark.
And in case anyone was wondering, at times Gen. George S. Patton carried ivory-handled .357s. Good enough for Old Blood & Guts, good enough for Our Hero.
Moral of the story: Don't bring a Taser to a gun fight.
