Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
Just a throw in here. I don't know if he swept the barrel away or grabbed it but anyone in this situation would be well advised to grab the barrel as they keep it from pointing at them. Maintain control of the shotgun. If the perp simply holds on to the gun and steps backwards, they can still blast you before they run away. ![fire :fire](./images/smilies/fire.gif)

Too bad the police would probably confiscate it for evidence. That, and I'm not sure I would want a gun that was probably used in other crimes.03Lightningrocks wrote:LOL...

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
Yeah... I wouldnt want a gun with a criminal background either. It might have a tendency to commit other crimes.74novaman wrote:My clown hat (Thomas wrote: Too bad the police would probably confiscate it for evidence.

My mistake. I thought you had read my post as serious and thought I was running around stealing guns from bad guys.Thomas wrote:74novaman wrote:My clown hat (Thomas wrote: Too bad the police would probably confiscate it for evidence.

I know you were, I was just presenting a response to a what-if scenario. I also I know I'm not the best jokester. Oh well.

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
I don't think that counts as "stealing a gun"
Wouldn't it be "taking a war trophy"

Reasonable gun control is hitting your target with the first shot.

Re: Good Friend Got Into A Gun Fight
"Arrest" is when the handcuffs stay on and as your are leaving the scene in the back of a police car you over hear the officer say, "I'm 10-95 to the jail." "Detained" is when they take the hand cuffs off and let you leave.
Your friend did well. :)
