Im not looking forward to this at all, as he has been in the family since he was a few weeks old, but would rather myself then him as he is a terrible shot, and dont want to risk an ill place round.

I have a 22' at my disposal and think a well placed shot on the brain stem should put him down cold before he hits the ground... But im a bit apprehensive as ive heard people surviving pretty close range shots to the head with a 22' and dont want him to suffer. Also, is there any legal issues in me putting him down myself( ie. trouble with law enforcement) Any input or alternate method is greatly appreciated.

Some vets make house calls for this. Livestock vets pretty much always make house calls.
