I know that this is a serious subject, but this cracks me up.casingpoint wrote:Tonto: Best we leave now, Kemo Sabe.
Lone Ranger: Nah. According to this internet message board, we got a heap 'o work to do, Tonto.
Tonto: What you mean, Kemo Sabe?
Lone Ranger: Well, it says here to kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. Hey, who's that on the cell phone?
Tonto: Lisa Falkenberg of the Houston Chronicle.
Lone Ranger: Let's ride, Tonto. And turn that phone off. They could be GPS tracking us.
If he is driving away in the getaway car, I think he is fleeing the scene. As long as the car isn't pointed at you!bdickens wrote:Remember, you're betting your life that he is fleeing the scene and not running for cover.
You are, in fact, correct. However, in the public's eye, self defense with firearms, the Castle Doctrine, and CHL are all intertwined. If you don't agree, I would refer you to the numerous Joe Horn threads in this "Texas CHL Forum."mr.72 wrote:This type of shooting has nothing to do with concealed carry laws.

The CHL gives us the opportunity to carry a gun outside out home or car, but these shootings like this one and Joe Horn are completely beside that point. This gun was deployed within range of the shooter's home, where it is always legal to carry a gun.

This is exactly the type of shooting that can convince reasonable people that concealed carry laws should be repealed.
