AGAIN... so that they don't charge you with more serious Sprout, Mon Jul 3 8:40amoffenses... I'm not suggesting that they will help you. I'm not suggesting that they will do anything productive at all. I'm just pointing out something very, very simple. If you run someone over AND ... more
It could be ages before the cops show up at the scene of a Ex-News Junkie, Mon Jul 3 8:51amrobbery. If the victim hits the robber with his fist, or with his car, I think whatever wins the day is the right response.
Let me tell you a true story that happened locally... Sprout, Mon Jul 3 8:58amA woman was walking from a Kohl's store out to her car. A local criminal threatened her with violence to get money. She, being licensed to carry a firearm, and armed, drew her firearm, at which point ... more
If you're not thinking? Ex-News Junkie, Mon Jul 3 9:15amWho's thinking in situations like that? She defended herself. She would have my full support even if she had shot him. And you didn't mention the police arresting the attempted mugger. That figures!
Yes, those who go through life without thinking Sprout, Mon Jul 3 9:36amsometimes have problems as a result. Which is why I include that story in every handgun license class I teach. She would have had your full support, but YOUR FULL SUPPORT does not in any way mean she ... more

The district attorney won't care that you Sprout, Thu Jul 6 6:08amfeel it makes no sense. The district attorney will charge you anyway.

This is what they did in the old west Ex-News Junkie, Wed Jul 5 8:02pmWhen someone proved to be effective at dealing with the criminal element, they were appointed as Sheriff! People are respected when they are effective at doing their jobs. Otherwise, not.
