The other potential problem is that he kept shooting after they began to flee.
No longer a threat = no longer able to use lethal force.
He would have to argue that he feared they would regroup and return, a shaky case to make.
So I cannot applaud him very much, he started out well, but the whole incident went down hill when he failed to AIM properly.
Never shoot to wound, always shoot to end the threat in as decisive a manner as possible.
I would not be surprised if he ends up being charged in the current Flori-duh/Obama DOJ liberal foaming at the mouth pogrom against CCW and “Stand your ground”.
In this respect the video going “Viral” may work against him!
Expect to see it used as a fund raising and hand-wringing plea for “gun-control” tool by certain seditionist elements.
He will be vilified as a “Vigilante” at any moment, probably already has been.
Too bad this did not happen in Texas. We love vigilantes in cases like this.
The old man did not know if that guy he shot outside was going to get up and start shooting and/or come back in. He made sure he did not come back in and that the little thug ran away with his pal. If he wanted to, he could have chased them down the street shooting, but he did not want to over do it figuring the danger was mitigated. :)
Gun owners are going to have to do jury nullification if the elite try to railroad and nitpick people defending themselves and others. In elections, we can dispose of dirty judges and politicans who don’t respect self defense.
