Ok... Let’s do a role play.
Let’s say this happens to one of us. There’s a robbery. We drive a few blocks home, get our pistol and return.
The guy is still in the place with the hammer etc and he’s trying to rob the place.
Scenario 1.
What do you tell the guy to do? “Lie down on the floor with your arms in the air.”
Do you tell him that you will shoot him if he takes one step towards you?
What happens if the guys lunges for you and grabs your gun. The guy could be on you in a millisecond from 10 feet away. Grabs your gun.
What if you shoot him? Do you shoot to kill or shoot to wound.
I guess my point is this. You have an unarmed man robbing a store. He’s got a hammer, but he doesn’t have a gun.
You show up with a gun and you tell the guy to back off. He doesn’t back off and comes for you and you shoot him. Seems to me that you’re going to be sued.
Is there really really good gun owner’s insurance that will provide you legal representation?
Why drive home and get your gun and come back. Why not call 911?
What happens if the guys lunges for you and grabs your gun. The guy could be on you in a millisecond from 10 feet away. Grabs your gun.
“Seems to me that youre going to be sued.”
Not in Texas.
Maybe this guy called when he was off to get his gun.
You’re a funny guy, there’s no way you’re serious.
You have an unarmed man robbing a store.
All your scenarios depend on two things, Witnesses and Video.
Without Witnesses and Video, you have more options.
Just sayin’...
Anything can be used as a weapon, suspect does not have to use a gun in order for your to defend yourself with one.
The man was armed, armed with an Assault Hammer.
Always shoot to kill, dead men tell no tales. If you shoot to wound, you are inviting a lawsuit.
If he’s dead, he cannot sue.
