Re: Shooting in Arlington School

Even if he had pulled the gun while the fight was in progress, he'd have to rely on a disparity of force argument. That didn't work so well for Zimmerman, among others. But leaving the scene to retrieve the gun pretty much kills any self-defense argument, I believe.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
It kind of did work for Zimmerman, as he was acquitted, though the situations were completely different.
