Yeah, she probably should have paid closer attention in her carry class.
I’d say she’s pretty lucky to be facing minor charges, and also lucky that she didn’t kill or injure anyone.

Broke some basic rules for CCW. She wasn’t threatened and they were fleeing.

My Father once shot the tires of the car of a young man who had stolen his heart medication. I assume it was narcotics.
The kid made it around a mile before the rims wore out. The deputy came by, arrested the kid and told Daddy that maybe next time he should just phone them. He did not ever threaten Daddy otherwise.

You have to wonder about what she was thinking. Anyone should know that a gun does not make you a cop.

Your father was not in a busy parking lot was he?

Sounds like she wanted to be a hero. Apparently she didn’t listen to her ccw instructor or didn’t have one.

Daddy’s nearest neighbor was around a mile away. I am pretty sure my Nephew was part of the problem as they came together and there was no way the kid would have known about Daddy’s medicine otherwise.

Poor control. She didn’t get a kill shot. Obviously, needs more range time.

Lucky she missed. If she had hit him or anyone, she would be looking at murder or attemped murder charges.

Most crimes are not random. It's usually someone you know who screws you.
When you live in a rural area the rules are different and the local LEO know it.

Sadly, that seems to be "the law".
As has been said before: The law is an ass."
We have become a nation of neutered effeminates.

Obviously not a legal shot.
But it more than likely was a moral shot.
