Er ya go! Well said!!!Excaliber wrote:Forum members tend to react fairly strongly when the facts related in a post indicate that deadly force was used without legal or moral justification because they are very sensitive to how precarious our second amendment rights are at this time in history, and want to avoid giving any ammunition that could be portrayed as irresponsible use of firearms by CHL holders to those who would like to ban gun ownership entirely. It's a group effort to keep each other within the bounds of the law and gain respect from some of those who view us with suspicion or fear. Critques of mistakes posted here are much less costly than when they are critiqued by the criminal justice system.

Re: Got my CHL today and 3 hours later my first incident!
I was agreeing with Nemesis - my reference was regarding the thread starting by "Got my CHL today and 3 hours later my first incident!". I was affeared that the poster was thinking the CHL was a justification for use of the shotgun or, in general, the throwing of shots at someone (deadly force). Then the post went into the use of a shotgun - which, unless the shotgun does meet the definition of 'handgun' - is a different animal. Sorry for my confusing post - brain cells kinda short out once in a while...WildBill wrote:P.S. To Couzin. Nemesis is talking about the laws concerning the use of deadly force which apply to concealed handguns as well as shotguns and other deadly weapons. I think Tallinthesaddle has had a lot to think about lately.

Re: Got my CHL today and 3 hours later my first incident!
Agree - and/but - that shotgun has nothing to do with a CHL nor does it even meet the definition of handgun (PC 46.01(5) -- "Handgun" means any firearm that is designed. made, or adapted to be fired with one hand.) unless you have considerably modified it or it was made like this one http://www.impactguns.com/store/SER-SS12.html.nemesis wrote:I mean no disrespect but I strongly suggest that you fully consider your own behavior before carrying a concealed weapon. It could take you down a path best avoided.
