I don't think this one will be self defense

[Seanpcola]

All legalities aside, tell me that we all haven't wanted to do this at one point or another.

I can honestly say that I've only felt that way three times in my life. In one of those cases the guy I wanted to see punished was killed before I could find him. I think there was a lesson there somewhere about karma and "what comes around goes around". Interesting story I should tell on here sometime and smacks of divine intervention. Another one of those guys is living a life worse than death, he's stuck with a true nasty hog of a wife, a crappy famil stuck in the worse possible environment than I can imagine and most likely hates to wake up and open his eyes every morning.

The third one is dying a slow death as I type this. Alcoholism and the resulting damage to his health, the slow shutting down of vital organs, the warrants out for his arrest and all that goes with that are payback enough for what he tried to do to me. I got an update on his situation just this week and his comeupance is in the process of being complete.

Nope, I've never killed anyone and hope I never have to. I know veterans that have killed, some a LOT, and they live with a haunting I can see in their eyes. They did what they had to do, they served their country honorably, they have a lot to be proud of and deserve all the respect, honor and help we can give them. I don't want to deal with the nightmares over wasting someone unworthy of my freedom and happiness. I realky hope that if I ever have to shoot someone in self defense that I accomplish stopping the immediate threat. I would much prefer the bad guy live to receive punishment and live his life in hell.

There is much difference in killing during war and popping someone as a civilian. At War I would never second guess or worry about it, as a civilian I would always second guess and regret it had to happen that way even if justified as there had to be another way...not that I would beat myself up over it. Just hope I never have to discharge my weapon as I feel there will be someone dead, I don't pull it to scare someone off.

No. I won't stoop to your level.

WOW really, that is where you draw the line? You need a little more LOL in your life.

 

[jakec]

[TraderDan]

I agree Frank though I have no real world experience. I certainly know that killing in war is one thing and in civilian confrontations is another.

I just really don't want the legal hassle from a SD shooting. Not saying I wouldn't do it, I just know its gonna suck even if I'm succesful and it was 100% justified.

im with you. i dont want no part of it.

 

[FrankT]

Yeah the legal hassle is a mess sometimes, I want no part of it. Common sense and retreating from the threat is my first response.

and that in itself is the sole reason 2 people are still sucking air. It was 2:30 and I had to get up early to go to work, and one instance when brandishing and threat of a firearm work out for the good of all.

State Attorney: "Sir, why did you shoot the man 14 times??"

Shooter: "Because I ran out of bullets and I didn't have a spare magazine with me..."

 

[Droshki]

lol..

 

[Seanpcola]

Good luck with that.

 

[flbeach]

He must have been in fear for his life, to shoot that many rounds!

 

[FUPAGUNT]

He could argue that the " ---- " connector on his Glock 19 malfunctioned and went full auto?

I didn't get one bit butthurt over that one Dan. Those cops murdered that guy. They were 30+ feet away. They could have nicked him.... It was as B.S. as that
idiot cop in Mobile entering someones fenced yard and killing their dog. Heaven knows if there'd been a suspect in the yard, the dogs would have been after it way before the cop came onto the scene. Why not shoot 2 feet in front of the dog... the dirt/sand would have sent it under the house. And NO... I'm not a cop hater.

That's funny and would be the most truthful answer he could give from the sound of things.

Dude is going to the big house but assholes should take notice. This one just joined a long list of idiots whose last words were something to the effect of "you don't have the guts" while facing the wrong end of a gun barrel.

The smart move was to realize he had pushed this man over the edge and start apologizing profusely for his rude and offending behavior.

Oh well I guess 14 hot pieces of lead got the point across. Tough way to learn a lesson on proper manners. He is just as dead whether the shooter does time or not.
