I wish there was a video to see how he got into action.

The article doesn’t say where he was carrying.

When a guy puts a gun to your head, that pretty much signifies that it’s all on the table as touching means of defense.

Two promising criminal careers tragically cut short. It’s tearing me up inside.

Absolutely.

My point was that going beyond the means to defend yourself,can cause you problems.

For example if you shoot him and he becomes incapacitated, an is no longer a threat, don't continue to shoot him, as you would have gone beyond the means to defend yourself.-Tom

That was Bernie Goetz's mistake, iirc. He gave one of the perps "another" after he was already down. That came back to bite him.

The rule is, aim for center of mass, neutralize the threat, and then deal with the fallout later. Lawyers gonna lawyer.
