here is the criminal's obituary (the first criminal, perhaps, if you are inclined to think of it that way). the details of this obituary might not mean much to you, but i grew up in spokane and also went to mead high school (one of the best in the state). it is sad that this guy stole the old car and lost his life over it. his father (Brian) was also arrested for stealing a police car after his son was killed.

KALUZA- GRAHAM, Brendon Tyler (Age 25) Passed away March 25, 2013, way too young. Born in Spokane, WA on October 16, 1987 to Angela Graham and Brian Kaluza. Brendon graduated from All Saints Grade School, attended high school in the Mead School district and also studied at SCC. He enjoyed playing sports, especially baseball. He loved camping at Priest Lake and traveling many places with his family. He was an avid reader, especially history and other non-fiction. He liked working and skiing with his Grandpa and fishing with Dad and brothers. He was a talented landscaper who took great pride in his work. Brendon was very involved with his big family and was really good with the little ones. Brendon is survived by Mother, Angie (Graham) Jenkins and father, Brian Kaluza. Siblings include Connor, Allyson, Ryan Kaluza and Garrett Graham. Grandparents are Yvette and Bob Graham, Ann and Mike Kaluza. He is also greatly missed by many aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial service and celebration of his life for family and friends, will be held at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, 24th and Grand Ave, Spokane WA. The family would respectfully accept contributions to Brendon’s memorial or a charity of your choice.

With that said, Washington has no handgun license class. Just go to the courthouse, pay the fee with your fingerprints and get your card in the mail 30 days later. When I lived there I carried. Easy. Maybe too easy.

i carried there too. very easy. filled out paperwork, got fingerprinted and wha-la. i have a hunch that the cops don't like his bull story about "i saw him raising his hands...I thought he had a gun." cops like the truth. how about telling it? it would probably be something like this: "the dude stole my car and it ticked me off so I tried shooting at him, hopefully hitting him". that of course is against the law in washington. you can't use deadly force to protect property. might as well not break the law. jail sucks.
