"the one that goes in the heart, that's the quickest" 

Way to go, Mr. Jones! Now *HERE* is a hero! He's AWESOME!!!

Too bad he wasn't invited to speak at the RNC. He would have upstaged even Clint!

One shot with a .22. I am so impressed!

Man who fatally shot intruder targeted 3 times in August

By Mark Hansel and Teerry Demio, The Cincinnati Enquirer

VERONA, Ohio – After his house was burglarized three times in a 12-day stretch in August, Earl Jones decided he'd had enough.

So when the 92-year-old farmer heard a noise in his basement Monday morning, he got his .22 caliber rifle and waited to confront the intruders. He fired a single shot, killing Lloyd (Adam) Maxwell, 24.

Jones said he felt no remorse after shooting Maxwell.

"I felt good," Jones said. "(Monday) was the best night's sleep I've had in a long time."

I bet his neighbors slept better too!

Jones never thought about calling 911.

"I'm a military man -- I ain't going to dial somebody and have to wait for an hour while the guy shoots me in the face and is gone," Jones said. "Time is of the (essence)."
.

"I missed the shot by an inch," Jones said. "They all stop 'em, but the one that goes in the heart, that's the quickest."
