Re: Is this legal?

The answer to the question is actually more questions. When wondering if I can shoot someone the answers come in the following questions:
1- Do you feel your life is in jeopardy? if so, then shoot. Nothing in the penal code says only if the suspect has a weapon.

2- Will the District Attorney and Grand Jury feel that you acted in a reasonable manner?

The problem comes in that at the time of a shooting you will not have the time to consider these questions, you will have to act. The DA and Grand Jury will take all the time in world to second guess your decision you had to make in a nano second.

Clear as mud I know. But welcome to the world of shoot-don't shoot.
