Re: What do you do if you draw your weapon w/o having to sho

Taking a life is serious and requires more depth than armchair generaling. What is a life worth? Am I prepared to pull the trigger? In a heartbeat. Am I going to kill someone for stealing the TV, hell no. I have insurance. Might even help them load it up if I do not feel threatened.
There is a case in Austin on trial right now of a young man that got drunk on superbowl night was driving home and wrecked his car. He walked into the subdivision for assistance. From here details are sketchy but a homeowner shot him three times as he was leaving.
There are no hard and fast answers. The situation requires you to make the correct decision in a heartbeat based on individual circumstances. Do I want to explain to a DA why I shot a man in the back and why I precieved the man retreating as a threat?
Temper justice with commonsense. what the law permits and what your conscience permits may be quite different.
