My sympathy is with the ordinary Citizen just walking his dog and forced into it by thugs. Thank God he was able to walk away from it alive.

Entire post well stated. The "ordinary Citizen" was forced into defending himself in what he believed to be a life or death situation for him.

He now has to live with the fact he took a life. Justifiably so IMO, but he still has to live with it. That's gotta be awful, no matter what the circumstances.

Being in the South, I figure my state would impede any federal attempt to do something like that. And probably a quarter of adult men are carrying around here, so it’d be a pretty long list. And besides that, screw them, they can come and get me. I’m not going to scurry and hide because they’ve got some list. All that aside, it really is a fun hobby, these guns. I’ve just been shooting at the range but I’m thinking of doing some match shooting of some kind.

He was getting his life together. He was getting his GED. He was going to marry his baby momma. He . . .

"If I save my life..and others..and I just wound one..and kill the other..I'm good with that. "

Same here -- and I pray that I never have cause to use my weapons.

OTOH, others might observe that one of the pair can still hype his homies up into seeking "revenge"...

Gauerke declined to release information about the number of wounds the robbery suspects sustained nor the type of handgun used.

...

That’s a shame. Revolver or pistol? Was one in the chamber? Was the safety on? Double or single action? Caliber? Type of ammo? Such info could save future lives.

They are a lot of fun. I have a friend who has country property and one of the most fun things is using a golf ball as a target and competing to see who can shoot it into the woods first with .22 rifles.

In my state, GA, about 5% of the adult population has a concealed weapons license. Plus it is legal to carry in your car without one, as the law sees you car as an extension of your house.

“And This Is Why I Carry Guns When I Walk My Dog”

If this neighborhood was any worse, his dog would have been carrying guns too.

Good shoot with a happy ending.

I just googled the stats — it’s 12% here in Alabama. Probably overwhelmingly men so roughly double that number to get the adult male percentage. Not sure how AL law sees guns in the car.

Nice!

I just know you’ve got reciprocity with us, which is nice. SC finally got on board a year or so ago. I’m sure tons of Georgians violated SC law going to Hilton Head and such, before that happened.

________________________________________________

I'm a little hard pressed to call it a happy ending with someone dead although that's not to say it isn't a good ending. there is a difference. The dead guy deserved to be dead and the shooter deserves to be left alone about it. It's ok to be sad for the dead thug but better to be happy that you aren't going to your own funeral.

Yep, we’ve got a pretty solid block here in the south east in terms of reciprocity, and I’ll bet we continue to add states. Pretty cool, really.

It would bother me...for about five minutes.

I walk my dogs in the woods every day with a Ruger 380 in my pocket.

Click on my name to see my dogs.
