OMG. It was amazing he was not killed or killed an innocent person.

He walked in while on the phone, passing a bad guy he did not see. Could have been capped right there. Then he chased the other one out the door, all the while firing with one hand.


Video

That was pretty surprising. He seemed more interested in the phone conversation. It's like... Ummmm... now's not the time... put down the phone, stay alert, and get your hand on your gun.

Where is THAT legal precedent? I disagree with your assessment of this issue.

You'll have to figure this stuff out on your own TXI. I know you can do it if you try.

That's what I thought. You HAVE no precedent or other proof that your assessment is correct. I understand that is your opinion, but is NOT fact.

Your facetious attempt to dodge is noted.

Actually you have no proof that your assesment is correct.

Personally I think both my points are painfully obvious. I'm just feeling that I'm wasting my time.

3 armed robbers with guns are still quite a threat even at a distance. Do I really have to point out that firearms are ranged weapons?

As for the second point I see you have no cases to contradict it.

Absolutely. While I may not have confronted the BG's in the manner implied in the article, my backbone would prevent me from doing anything other than helping a family member who called me in desparate need.
