I totally agree, anyone using a paintball marker outside the 'rules of paintball' needs their butt kicked. However, not shot in the head.

In once sense I agree. But it was dark, and we can assume he reacted quickly. These days how can you know?

I was out walking the baby yesterday afternoon when a mini-van (obviously mom's car) full of teenage boys drove through. I watched them stop and one of them threw a liquor bottle (I think it was actually a Bacardi's cooler from the broken glass I found) down in a drainage ditch. They were stupid enough to drive back through the neighborhood so I got the plate number and called the police. I had the baby with me, so I wouldn't engage them and I'm not sure I would've anyway.

But if I'd been armed, mom would at least have to be buying some new tires this morning.

 I don't think that response would have been adequate, personally. Did they throw it AT you?
If not, why would you throw out some high powered lead at a moving vehicle, chancing a ricochet into a nearby house? Just curious.

 ...on a brighter note, an addendum to my previous post, where I pretty much said paintball was nothing to be afraid of... UNLESS......
