That man from Tennessee should be commended all around for half a dozen reasons. He used his cc properly, drawing down on the crazy guy while cg was distracted, which is a huge advantage of cc.
And then the amazing judgment, for which no one can honestly chastise him, to realize that he didn’t need to shoot. Yes, arguments can be made that he should have shot anyway; but it’s always a better night, personally, when you don’t have to kill someone.
Hopefully, cg will get his “head candled”, and get sent to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm to get help. Maybe if someday he is of sound mind again, he will thank heaven for that white man from Tennessee who didn’t shoot. Unlikely, but he should.
Brandishing a toy gun that looks like a toy gun is still a suicidally ignorant gesture.
There are cases where criminals painted their weapons to resemble toy guns.
