It was not unusual that the passing driver was armed in this gun-friendly state with loose regulations.
Pretty sure you can't try that in MA. If you see a state trooper being beaten to death in Boston, it's probably best to dial 911. If you are foolish enough to step in and save the cop's life, the police are likely to put you in prison. Not that they would want to, of course -- but we are a dumb state with dumb laws.
We need an concealed/open carry law from the federal government that will apply to every state of the union. Once you pass a fedearal course and have that federal license, you should be able to carry anywhere in the United States.
It would be the best ting that ever happened to combat foreign and domestic terrorism.
This could have been explained better.
** Arizona has a “defense of third person” law that allows someone to use deadly force against another who is threatening or injuring a third person. It was not unusual that the passing driver was armed in this gun-friendly state with loose regulations. **
Instead of “loose regulations” he should have said that honest citizens are able to exercise their second amendment rights to defend themselves, their family and others.
The driver had the gun in his car and went back to retrieve it after asking the trooper if he needed help.
“A man who shot and wounded an Arizona state trooper”
No name?
Prosecutors said they were not commenting yet on whether they will review the shooting by the driver because it is an ongoing investigation.
WTF is there to review?
Not a happy writer! But, a happy ending!
Same thing happened a few weeks back in Ft. Myers, FL.
Banglist Ping!!
