forgot to add " with the gun "When the robber turned
did you not have your speakers on?Where did those rounds go
the bad guy turned toward him with the firearm.Was he in fear of his life AFTER the robbery went down and he started chasing? If he had killed the BG at that point, would he be justified??
you do know your on a pro 2nd gun board?Will he be as happy if his new Clerk takes a shot at another "Robber" and hits a bystander instead. Wonder what his insurance rates will be then (if he has any now, that is
Yes Shortydog I realize I am on a pro-2nd Amendment/Gun Forum. After 40 + years of carrying one I also know what self defense is and what it is not. If someone IS robbing you you can empty all the rounds in your weapon into him as long as you don't stop to reload (the multiple rounds can be written off to the stress of the moment, a reload would be definite overkill). You can not, however, chase the robber and shoot him/her as the Self Defense aspect is now gone. You could be construed as the agressor. If you survive the initial encounter and the BG leaves, then let the cops do their job. Most of these mutts are dumb enough to try again and get caught in the act or lead law enforcement to their "lair". It is not your job.
Yes, he is a scumbag for choosing the life of crime but if YOU are convicted of some level of homicide for killing him (like you might have by chasing him down) you might find it very difficult getting a peaceful nights sleep while serving the time. Bubba and his friends might have a few parties planned for you in the evening.
go ahead they will protect you.let the cops do their job.
Methinks this is, or could be read as, an unwise equivocation.you must be some sort of law enforcment and/or just an idiot.
But he is responsible for it.It's not HIS money,
So?he IS NOT carrying a badge to go along with the gun.
The issue has nothing to do with 'protection.' It has to do with chasing down fleeing perps, who are not (at the moment) threatening anyone.go ahead they will protect you.let the cops do their job.
+1.I see goofy stuff on all sides of the issue here.
