B and C are not good options. I'm not a lawyer but I do believe I read about a similar case in one of the gun magazines recently. It would be reasonable to argue that you shot the actor with the belief that he had your keys, wallet (which would provide your address), and your vehicle (transportation to your residence). All of these factors could lead a reasonable person to believe that this person intended not only to steel your car but have access to your home, family, and contents of the house. I am not saying that this is the best argument but not far fetched. The magazine article depicted a similar situation in which the CHL holder was charged and found not guilty under this presumption. I think I would do everything in my power to prevent the actor from leaving and exposing myself and my family to a possible future threat. my .02Search found 1 match
