Agreed. I'll add these comments, I'm not much on laying on the horn, I consider it often to be rude and provacative. Also, I'd have asked my wife where the heck she was going if she tried to open the truck door to get out and yell at the dude. That said, there is no call to start beating women in a parking lot.dicion wrote:I believe the husband would have been justified to shoot, and no-billed under the 'defense of another' part of the lethal force laws.
2 Late-teenage boys vs 1 older woman is an easy disparity of force in my (and hopefully the jury's) eyes, and the 3rd guy saying he has a gun is just icing on the cake. All 3 would have seen the business end of my .45 had I been in that situation.

Remember what Woodrow said? " I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it."
