I’m willing to bet he wishes now that he would have stayed inside and simply called the police before going out and shooting.narcissist wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 7:56 pmGood point! I'm guessing they "Expect" it. Still would like to know though if it's mandatory.rotor wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 6:50 pmI don't know where in the law it says that after use of legal deadly force the police must be notified immediately.Texas_Blaze wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 5:11 pm Truthfully I think he should have called cops at the moment he saw someone fiddling with his shed lock & stayed in the house. Having a weapon is no reason to get out of the house & confront. I’ve heard of courage in a bottle but there is also courage in a barrel. Shoot over what? A lawn mower? A car? All that stuff will end up in a junk yard one day. Why kill over that? Why take a human life over some property? Just because the law allows it doesn’t make it right. Stay inside, and protect yourself if the person attempts to intrude your home. Some people need to consider what the firearm is for. It’s for the protection of life.
My views are informed by my faith (not to make this into a Sunday sermon but I consider how would Jesus want me to respond) and don’t expect that anyone should agree with me without first understanding that part.
Legally I don’t think the fella did anything wrong in regards to discharging his firearm based on what was written in the article.
