Justifiable.
“Gray jumped into his black Maxima, where his 40-caliber Glock was located,”
Fellow “cop gun” owner. Cool.
I’d be proud to have him as my son! Well, done!
“Lucky I shot 150 practice rounds this weekend,”
Thats not luck, thats taking your CCW permit seriously.
I also fired 150 rounds this past weekend.
“Fellow “cop gun” owner. Cool.”
Eh?
Does my NAA .22 qualify as a “cop gun”?
;-)
Damn right. What are we supposed to do? Suppose this guy got away and did another carjacking and this time perhaps the owner of the car would have become a victim???? If they charge this man for going after someone who threatened his 71 year old mother then they are just plain wrong and I will be outraged. The criminals are running the justice system...yes????
That’s what my wife jokingly calls my Glock, “cop gun”. Hers is “007”. Guess what kind it is. ;)
In the leg?? Sorry, but that's not smart. Dead perps have considerably more difficulty suing. Or carjacking again.
Making a lot of assumptions there. I don’t see where his age or his occupation if any is mentioned. This could have been his day off or maybe he worked nights or who knows what. You don’t know and neither do I. And by the way, some women are independent — they would rather do the shopping and carrying the groceries themselves. My brother’s mother-in-law is like that. She’s 90 and wants to do everything for herself. Nothing wrong with that.
Great. Ping.
The article said he has his permit for Mississippi, but it took place in Tennessee.
PPK?
A shooting like this might cost him his permit. He will almost certainly lose the Glock. Somebody tell me if I’m wrong.
The mistake was shooting him in the leg, instead of a vital organ.
Step 1: Kieth Grey needs to shut the Hell up, right now.
His statements are precluding many possible defenses, should this matter come to trial. He needs a lawyer who will be willing to sit on his chest and shove a forearm in his mouth to keep him from talking, if that’s what it takes.
For instance, without all these extraneous statements, Grey would be able to argue that he thought the gunman might return and harm his 71-year-old mother, and that he was not sure the gunman holding a shotgun to her head was part of a continuing argument. This would give the jury all the cover they need to pat him on the head and dismiss the case with an “Attaboy”. But now he has gone and blabbed that he knew the gunman was a carjacker who was just trying to get away and he shot him (while unarmed) because he was angry. All of these statements are going to greatly complicate his defense.
Rule #1: When the police tell you that you have the right to remain silent and talk to a lawyer, take them up on their offer.
Yeah, we called it a "throw down."
j/k
Agree. Center of mass twice, once in the head, if needed.
Probably a Beretta, these days.
