You really don’t see the left acting out much in Kentucky and you probably won’t. Thing is, it is completely legal here to use deadly force if you believe you are at risk to receive severe injury. That’s right. Just “injury”
And a LOT of us carry.
There was a case a couple of years ago where person A started a road rage incident with person B and even followed person B into a parking lot and continued to yell at him.
Person B got out of his car, pulled a baseball bat out of his trunk and started smashing the windows of Person A’s car. Person A shot him dead. It went to trial and met the standard for fear of bodily harm.
i.e. he was found not guilty, even though he started the road rage incident. The dead guys mistake was to start the physical part of it.
Sounds like an incident which happened to an acquaintance of mine, many years ago. We belong to an historical reenactment group, which owns and regularly transports replica weapons and armor. One of his was a copy of a two handed sword; we in the group called it “Stinker.” It was massive, really intended for display only, much too heavy for use.
To get back to the point, a Person A started a road rage incident with my friend as Person B. My friend, wishing to avoid confrontation, left the limited access hiway and drove to the nearest well lighted parking lot. Person A followed, and not only continued to yell at him, but got out of his car brandishing a tire iron. Person B opened the door of his car, and stood behind the open door (hiding himself and … something). Person A approached Person B shouting threats and waving his tire iron. Person B stepped from behind the door and displayed “Stinker”; he did not even raise it to an “En Garde”, just showed himself holding it. Person A stopped, turned around, got back in his car and drove away.
One should not let their mouth write checks their body cannot cash. Holder should remember that.
