Well, I would've, and when he sobered up, I would have offered an option: go door-to-door apologizing to everyone, describing in detail what he did, or face the charges.

There are lots of (legal) reasons to leave your gun at home, but we get what you're saying.

But they do happen.

He did what he thought was the right thing to do.

Can't advise against that.
