Please pass along our best to your friend. Glad he was unhurt and that they got the scum that tried to rob him. Hopefully that shot through the hip and the upcoming time in prision should help make him think about not doing this kind of thing in the future.doc540 wrote:Just got home from spending a couple of hours with my friend.
He's doing well, but they took his gun until the investigation is complete.
So what does a good friend do?
I loaned him my CM9.
He said he not only didn't use his sights, he doesn't remember any loud noise or recoil.
He swept the shotgun muzzle away with his left hand, drew and fired across his lap with his right.
The perp saw the gun as he drew and began to step backwards.
When he fired the perp was moving/falling towards the rear of the truck.
It don't work like in the movies, friends.

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
Technically, it is homicide (if the person is killed), so they should treat it as such. However, they should look at the circumstances and determine it was potentially justifiable homicide and take that into consideration on what they do to the person.stealthfightrf17 wrote:In my CHL class, our instructer had a slide of procedures from montgomery county sherrif. It was giving to him by a homicide detective I know, and talked with him. The department protocall is arrest and process like it was a homicide. Even with that policy, it does not always happen. Crime scene can show very quickly it was self defense.

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
One other thought and question; was your instructor soliciting you to buy prepaid legal services? I have seen this tactic to try and scare you into signing up.

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
That is not a given, and your instructor should not have made that statement. It will depend on many circumstances. You MAY be arrested, but then if things are pretty clear it was a self defense case, then they may take all the evidence and let the DA decide if he wants to have the person arrested. It will more than likely go to a Grand Jury, but you may not get arrested and charged.Reds45ACP wrote:Glad to hear he made it out okay I'm sure his family feels the same way. :) It re-enforces my choices for getting a CHL and training as well.
I do have a small bit of confusion though. I was told during my CHL class that if you shoot someone you ARE going to be arrested for Assault with a deadly and/or 2nd degree murder (if BG dies). PERIOD. It becomes a legal defense issue proving it was self defense and you get to sit in jail until it gets sorted out.
