The man wasn't unarmed. He was driving a 2,000 pound automobile. If I'm on that cops jury he walks and I pin a medal on him. Criminals don't play by the rules. They don't give a damn about your life, your pain, or your family. If you're looking for sympathy for these miscreants you'll find it in the dictionary between excrement a syphilis. I guarantee that they wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet into you.

This is the video I always show to people who don't think they need a gun to protect themselves.

Not safe for work and some audiences - language

Well, if that happened to me at least I'd know how well the Lehigh ammo works.

I always show this video in my classes. It says a LOT about mindset. Pay close attention to what Lance says about "it wasn't his decision. my life is too precious"

+1....Excellent video...I love his last statement, "Do I feel safer? I just want to feel alive".....that says it all......Thanks TD2K for posting that

My attitude exactly.

I never said he was a pillar of society.........................did you watch the video? Apparently. with your way of thinking, if I come up to YOUR car window, and you drive away, I can shoot you in the head. That's what happened. Was it right? No. Was it illegal? Yes. We all know how you feel about LE and the guy in the car. Still didn't give the LE a right to shoot him in the head. The officer's statements contradict what was in his report. He wasn't dragged down the street. It really doesn't matter what these criminals think of me, you still can't shoot someone for no reason, it's simple really. We all understand that criminals don't play by the rules. It doesn't matter in a court of law. The next time a bicyclist swerves to avoid hitting you, please don't hesitate to shoot him, because his cycle is a weapon, and even though he's not armed, shoot him anyway........your rules, not societies. What if that would have been your daughter, and she pulled away, and made a foolish mistake, and they shot her in the head. Change your thinking? GET WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure. I don't see how this one proves your point. If I recall the point you are trying to make is that had TD2K switched places with her supervisor and wound up shooting the intruder, you guarantee her prison, bankruptcy or both.

-------With no weapon-------With no weapon, that's exactly what I am saying.................the guy in the car/video didn't have a weapon either....................................IF the intruder would have had a weapon, different story..........apparently, the intruder had some sort of weapon in the supervisors case, but apparently, some members here think that you can shoot them, weapon or not. I say, no weapon=prison, period. Even if you take the Castle Doctrine in to account, we have had 2 recent cases up here. One was a guy who was drunk, and he went in to someone's enclosed porch...........the owner woke up, saw him, and shot him............even with the Castle Doctrine in place here, the guy still went to prison. He shot an unarmed person. Another case involved someone trying to steal a guy's car off of his own property. The owner grabbed his firearm, confronted the individual, the thief said something to him, and proceeded to start throwing rocks at the owner. The owner shot him, and he is currently serving his time. Bobhouse brought up a valid point, and you DO have to think about the repercussions of shooting someone. The OP also mentioned having insurance. I have yet to hear of any of the insurance that's out there, actually helping someone. It may very well be happening, but I personally haven't heard a thing. Point being.......the supervisor would have had every right to defend himself in that particular situation. We don't know what the situation would have been if the OP would have opened that morning, but I believe that if she would have been confronted by these individual/s, not armed, and she would have shot someone, the OP is going to prison. You start dealing with some of these DA's across the country, who don't like citizens owning firearms and protecting themselves, they will come up with all sorts of scenarios..........was the door open behind you? Why didn't you just run out the open door behind you. They were unarmed, why would you shoot an unarmed person? Was it really necessary? You feared for your life, even though these/this person was unarmed? Happens every day.

The lump on the supervisors head was obviously caused by the bad guys wits.

I think we're talking in circles here boys and girls.

Hopefully, he would have been armed, otherwise, it would have been you they were hauling out to jail. You probably could have found something that he had as a weapon??????????

It all depends where you live. In my state if he illegally broke into your house or place of business and came toward you at all he could be shot and you would still likely make the lunch buffet if you had an appetite. Of course I live in the backyards SE you YMMV in your locale.

[yqtszhj]

Just because someone breaks in to your place of business, unfortunately, it doesn't give you the right to shoot them, unless they have a weapon.

Again, it depends where you live. Trust me, it happens here.

Two situations, the employee hit on the head and the pastor who fired a shot. In the first, self-defense is clearly indicated and could likely be supported as the individual was attacked and injured which is a threat of further injury. If he couldn't defend himself the first attack why would he believe he could a further one.

The second incident, the pastor should be very thankful he did not shoot the fleeing suspect in the back when he ran. That is with the assumption the suspect was not armed. I live in CA and the pastor would very likely be charged with illegal discharge of a weapon at the least and attempted murder at the most. From what I read he was not assaulted. Theft is not a shooting crime. Assault is a potential shooting crime only if you cannot reasonably avoid it.

The burden of legalities is a very real issue that must be studied and understood. Those who say shoot their eyes out are the ones to be very cautious around (even if they are my friends). It's when the concern for your life and those you swear to protect overrules your concern for spending years in prison and your family bankrupted and without you to protect them is when to shoot. Think of it as a safety on your weapon of choice.

Bawanna may be the only one who remembers me from my initial visits here and my endless questions about self defense. Before I got serious about carry I studied very hard at real life examples of good, not so good, and disastrous self defense shootings. I learned to recognize the risk to both life and future in my actions. I've been called names with my belief that if someone outside my family wanted protection they would carry it. I am not a police officer nor any kind of public servant or hero. I and my family are alive and I consider that enough.
