Re: What do you do if you draw your weapon w/o having to sho
I've read the code....really? We're going here?
The same verb tense study can be applied to 9.32 as well. If the actor abandons the encounter, you will have some 'spraining to do. This is not "my opinion" it's how the text reads. FWIW, I feel I am more than qualified to opine on how the penal code gets applied by Texas LEOs.Sec. 9.31. SELF-DEFENSE. (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force. The actor's belief that the force was immediately necessary as described by this subsection is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:
(1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the force was used:
{Burglary or Kidnapping in progress} or...
(C) was committing or attempting to commit aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery;

Disagree. CHLs are taught much more (in a good class anyway). When you pull that gun, and when you pull the trigger are two very different but equally important events. If the threat of deadly force stops the threat, better not squeeze one off. This is how good people get hemmed up for shooting some bad person in the back.Beiruty wrote:gigag04 wrote:Those that feel they have to automatically shoot someone because they cleared leather frighten me.
Please don't stop using your brain just because you draw a gun.
Cops do not shoot someone each time they draw. Cops shouts orders, to control their subjects. I guess CHLs are taught to only deploy deadly force to counter an imminent threat of death by a deadly force. If the threat is terminated ( bad guy flee the scene) then no need to wast ammo. Secure the area and rehoster and dial 911.

Those that feel they have to automatically shoot someone because they cleared leather frighten me.
Please don't stop using your brain just because you draw a gun.
