Re: Man defending against assault = Angry shopper

yeh....I worded that badly....no, our "job" isn't to de-escalate the situation....however, walking into a fight when you're carrying a gun is stupid, sorry.

Re: Man defending against assault = Angry shopper

I don't know if the the puncher started it or not....from the local reports, the "puncher" was cutting in line, but the "gun guy" then started pushing him back....now, if "our" job is to de-escalate a situation, shoving an already aggressive guy isn't the way to do it...so then the "puncher" punched and then the "gun guy" pulled. that's the way I piece it together with all of the news articles online and on TV.
understand they are being quite clear that he did nothing illegal. They are saying he scared alot of people.

and I'm not saying he did anything wrong, if I'm punched in the face, I'm pulling....well, I'm probably unconscious, but if I'm awake, I'm pulling ;-)
I guess what I'm saying is maybe the "gun guy" could have possibly prevented it from reaching the "gun" point? I don't know?

yeh, looks like he got his gun back.

from what they're reporting here, locally...he didn't point the gun at the guy, he pointed it at the floor, basically saying "I have a gun, you want to stop now" I don't like that, but I guess giving the bully guy a chance isn't a bad idea, and keeps you from shooting a guy and 'filling out the paperwork' as I say. :coolgleamA:
