Up thread I relayed the story of the young man who was legally and morally shot dead at the side of I-25 in Colorado Springs.
I’ve heard his father speak. His father has, and seems to still have, a chip on his shoulder the size of Pike Peak. Most likely the son inherited that same attitude, and that foolishness cost him his life.
I know very little about you, beyond what you’ve revealed on this thread, but I’m beginning to suspect you are of similar bent.. You’re doing your son a great, and possible deadly, disservice.
If your son has inherited that same attitude from you, he’d be well advised to avoid Colorado, and most other states with Make My Day laws, as history has shown we aren’t hesitant to use the powers of self defense that Our Maker has given us, the State has codified into law, and the gun makers have made possible.
Ah, no worries.
My son, when he was in high school, was having some trouble with some punks over something that was said by my son’s friend. It was getting really stupid. Dangerously stupid.
I ran into their little ringleader down at a fast food place and invited him outside, told him who I was, and explained some things.
I heard he went running to his daddy and told him what I had said. I heard his dad kicked the living crap out of him. Told him how stupid he was.
" Probably a typo, which should have been "and grabbed and loaded his revolver."
I have read the prosecutors report, which clearly states that the shooter got his revolver and loaded it.
