Reading this thread now is like polishing the brass on the titanic...

Hehe....this is hilarious. The west side of my city (my AOR) says otherwise...

I guess I can further my previous comments...

this guy was either gang affiliated or wants people to think he is.

Based on what...TV monitors?

Is it justifable to use a weapon to preempt assault?

Geez....are you serious? No. YOU would be the one charged with a road rage murder at that point. You can't preempt an assault with a firearm. The assault must actually be in progress. When is the last time you read the penal code - I think a review may be in order. None of these situations meet the elements for displaying, much less, using a weapon.

I would suggest that you take a deadly force seminar through this forum or similar instruction. I don't want to sound like a jerk in posting what I've posted. However, I hope to keep you away from legal trouble, and help you get a better handle on how responsibly and legally arm yourself.

Not at all.


You jumped like 15 notches on the use of force continuum.
