Show me the video, popcorn and a phone thrown at you and you draw your weapon? I think reeves screwed the pooch on this one. I am pro gun and carry but unless a young man had laid hands on this old guy I don’t see this as a righteous shoot.

“I am pro gun and carry but unless a young man had laid hands on this old guy I don’t see this as a righteous shoot.”

In this post I’m not addressing whether or not this was a righteous shoot, nor whether or not this young man threatened this old guy. But I’ll say that if someone threatens you with death or serious bodily harm, has the capability to carry out the threat, and the threat is immanent, if you wait for that someone to lay hands on you, you may not be able to respond by drawing and shooting or in any other way. Unless maybe you’re Chuck Norris.
