"Defence to the prosecution"...

Now there's a statement that strikes a chord...

Under the statute 9.32 (or somewhere near there) you'd think that the time, place and method you choose to defend yourself (i.e.: self-defence) against a felonious attack against yourself or another, would never be an issue...

That the CHL law that "protects" you from prosecution for carrying a "gun" in public would just be window-dressing...Even though that laws intent is to allow, and encourage people to get the "instruction" on the law regarding the use of force and deadly force in response to those types of attacks or situation...

Notice I said "instruction", I did not say "training"...Thats totally different...

We who have this license, carry, knowing our strengths and weaknesses...We discuss, and debate all sorts of issues in relation to the carrying of a firearm for lawful defensive purposes...We understand that we are (for a certain number of us) are not Law Enforcement, therefore we understand our capacity or station in this matter...We rarely find people who have these licenses who actually go out looking for trouble...Those people are not long for the ride on those licences...

Maybe I'm just going off again (as usual)...But regardless of the legality of this incident, the bottom line is that that individual apparently defended themselves against a legitimate threat of deadly force...And they won that battle...

Now the battle is that that person is going before the Grand Jury, charges unknown and unreported (thanks MSM!!! You guys are the best! /sarcasm)...

If he is "no billed", that should be the end of it...Or will it??? We'll never hear about that...

I'm just once again, not surprised with the lack of clarifying information and the inaccuracies of the information reported...

Not that we can't read between the lines...I've gotten pretty good at that...

If you have time to watch the video, then see the write up in the story, you may see the disparity...

It amazing how "one" word can change the entire personality of the incident...

...all of the details so far released to the media in this story...

Yet, so hard to determine, yet acceptable, to muddy the waters on the ONE issue that would be tremendously easy to figure out...

I actually have theory that this guy (homeowner) doesn't have a CHL...

But whats funny, is if you watch the actual broadcast this morning...

The reporter was clear to point out that they were not sure if the homeowner had a "permit on the gun"...
