If I’d been there I think I would have shot him. Once he demanded money it’s armed robbery. Armed robbery is a forcible felony and you, as a CWFL holder, have the right to shoot him to stop it. You also know he is a violent felon in your vicinity with an assault rifle. It would be entirely reasonable to fear for your life even though he has made no direct threat to you. No 3 to the chest and 1 to the head nonsense. I keep shooting COM until he drops the rifle or drops to the ground and stops moving if he doesn’t drop the rifle.
One shot, one kill. Spray and pray is a good way to hit innocents.
IINM, it’s becomes a legal problem to continue shooting someone when they’re already on the ground, shot. I have no problem reloading and emptying 2-3 mags of .230gr .45cal ACPs into the POS. I think the DA and Grand Jury frown on that, though.
I can’t find any links to the law/statute, however.
Of course, if he’s propped against the rail across from the counter, keep shooting! LOL.
Is your wife an attorney, are you wealthy or did you wake up wanting to kill someone.
Remember Zimmerman. He had to go to court to prove that his side of the story was true. How much were his lawyers costs?
Don’t play the hero unless you can afford the costs.
