Re: Waco/Bellmead purse snatcher

Well, not sure if she just missed or she intended a warning shot, but coming from a military background, there should be no warning shot. If you are presented with a situation that gives you the legal right to discharge your firearm, you should not be shooting to warn. The case being if the situation allows you enough time to fire said warning shot, and wait to see the reaction before firing to hit, it isn't sufficient to have fired in the first place. If you have to fire your weapon, you are doing it because life is in danger and the threat has to be stopped. Granted that's my military minded oppinion so not sure how that relates to texas law, but I personally would have just kept on driving. Not because I'm a coward or anything else, but the situation to me doesn't dictate using a firearm. If the same guy was firing off pop shots at everyone around it would be different.
