It requires proof that he intended to use the stolen card, which would be hard without his admission. But even though the theft was from the shopping card, it should still have been a robbery because of his fighting with the people trying to restrain him. All it takes is to show someone received a bodily injury, which is as simple as getting one of the helpers to say they felt pain. I could get that robbery conviction easier than the credit card abuse.

But the fact that the woman was carrying without a license really hurts her case. I agree with WTR that this is a great example of the problems with constitutional carry. She really needs training to understand when she can or cannot shoot. I still support constitutional carry but this is a problem with it.
If she has a real case for justification of deadly force(questionable), doesn't that also get her off the UCW (46.02)? :confused5
