>>I think the law should be changed to impose a fine on anyone who shoots a criminal and he doesn't die.
I'll take a somewhat more socialistic stand on this. I propose in that case, that we give the citizen 2000 rounds of their favorite caliber, and 25 hours of range time, including 5 hours with an IDPA shooting instructor.
Once this was underway for a few years, we'd likely pay for the program in reduced court and incarceration costs.
I never thought I would have to admit an upside to socialism.
