They shot at him and he shot at them. They were committing a felony. Anyone with at least half a brain would have given him a medal, or at least mentioned him in dispatches, but apparently self defense is a crime in Tennessee. See YouTube video “Don’t talk to police”.
Until Florida governor Bush signed the Castle Doctrine Florida residents were required by law to retreat. When he signed the law the media was on a hyperbolic tirade about how Florida would turn into the wild west. (The wild west was a lot more tolerant than movies would have us believe.) There was no uptick in shootings. I don’t know how the law affected the crime rate as criminals don’t contemplate the results of their actions.
Make sure you go and read the entire article.
If the police are being honest about what the man told him, he was firing his weapon with closed eyes.
At the bottom of the article is a tweet with a security cam picture.
If it is from the man’s home it shows a home on a residential street, most likely his neighbor’s home across the street.
If he was firing his weapon with closed eyes he could have been firing at his neighbor’s home or at the home behind his neighbor’s home.
You do not fire your weapon without clear sight of your target and knowledge of what is behind your target.
If he was firing with his eyes closed he had neither.
He should never have made such admissions but if they are true the man was reckless and should never fire another weaon until he has had gun safety training and many many hours of range time.
self defense is a crime every where unless your a democrat.
