Where Mr. Morin went wrong (from the article):

Authorities added that Morin grabbed his gun and opened fire and that he continued to chase them down the street and fired more shots...

Wow; Spring is where I met a guy from church back in 2013 at the Red Robin there for lunch.

[Boomer One]

Indiscriminate? Maybe because he missed but I’m surprised he got charged.

[Bogie]

He should have used a 12 , with #1 buck.

Texas man charged after firing 'indiscriminately' at 2 men attacking his fiancée

Onion article?

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

If no innocents were harmed the authorities must give consideration to the man’s state of mind.

You can shoot a man who is no threat for catching him in bed with your wife, what’s the difference, especially when children are involved.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

So he should’ve held his fire?

LOL!

I propose that had he not fired they would’ve taken his wife and kids.

Where Mr. Morin went wrong

Where he went "wrong" was not enough range time. I'd volunteer for his jury, because the trial would be over in five minutes - NOT GUILTY and let me buy you a beer sir!

[Gene Eric]

>> and that he continued to chase them down the street and fired more shots..

And that’s a problem?

[Garvin]

“The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said the two men were still at large”.

Not if it was I doing the shooting.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

The guy needs more target practice.

If he had plugged the evil-doers with his fist few shots it could not be considered indiscriminate use of a firearm.

[onona]

I know how I’d vote if I was on that grand jury.

[achilles2000]

Morin needed better gun control.

[TigerClaws]

Once they retreated he was to stop firing.

Where he went wrong, “I want to speak to my lawyer and I have nothing further to say until I do.”

THAT is where he went wrong. Never ever talk to the police. They’re not there to help you.

My aunt lived in Splendora, Texas. Died in her 90th year.
She kept a pistol at the ready at all times.

[WKUHilltopper]

‘These rounds definitely went down a very crowded street.’

Yeah? You “definitely” know this or just BS guessing?

[48th SPS Crusader]

Lousy reporting. Would really like to know what the actual felony charge was. “firing indiscriminately” does not sound like a legal term to me or a proper legal charge. I agree the man made a serious error in judgement.

[Psalm 144]

“Police said Morin and his fiancée have been uncooperative.”

I would be too. Give them nothing.

[Puppage]

Authorities added that Morin grabbed his gun and opened fire and that he continued to chase them down the street and fired more shots...

Ant that is indeed where he erred.

Once the threat leaves, if you give chase, now YOU become the threat according to police.

Please, please get training, people. You can have top-flight training in the legal aspects of self-defense for less than 40 cents a day by joining Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network.

Just let me know where the "Go Fundme" site is to financially help this Black Thug victim, OK?

I might apologize if I've guessed wrong...
