Shooting some stupid punk in the back for steeling CD's or something out of my car? No way I'd do that. I'd like to, but there is no way would I shoot someone in the back for this type of crime.
To be honest, without perceived or direct physical threat to me or someone else, I'm not shooting. Now catching someone that has entered or are attempting entry to my home is an entirely different story.
Exactly. People talk so big about shootin mere theives (I understand some can be more dangerous)...but there is always a price to pay for taking a human life...no matter how justified...it’s easy to say I’d shoot so and so, but for anyone that’s ever had to do it, there’s a psychological aspect that sometimes we gunhawks don’t take the time to consider....I would know in my heart if I thought I was self defending or just thinking I could give some thief his “due” and get away with it....and I would have to stand before God who knows my heart and foolishly attempt to defend my sin....there is no justification....
If the story is true and the thief was running away unarmed, then shame on the guy for shootin him. He will have to live with that....
