The fault is still with the person who pulled out the shotgun. If I walk up to you (for ANY reason other than you being on my property), pull a gun, and it goes off killing you, I am 100 percent at fault.
I hope both these idiots are made examples of. As someone who strongly supports RKBA, it’s the wannabe cop assclowns who do real damage. If it’s no on your property or the person hasn’t INITIATED a threat, let the cops handle it or get ready to spend lots of time in jail.
If anyone ever, for whatever reason, pulls a gun on me, they had BETTER kill me, because if I can I’m going to get it away from them and use it on them.
“If I walk up to you (for ANY reason other than you being on my property), pull a gun, and it goes off killing you, I am 100 percent at fault.”
So much for the idea of women carrying a gun off their property for the purpose of defending themselves from assault.

Well put. Now I’m going to say something that will upset a lot of people here. Awhile back I attended a firearms safety class given by a 2A lawyer. This guy was a hunter and a life NRA member. He made his living by defending people whose 2A rights were violated.
After the class, the lawyer opened things up for a Q and A. Someone asked about the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case. The lawyer said that had he been on the jury, he would have found Zimmerman guilty.
Well, I just about fell out of my chair. Then he explained. Zimmerman was playing policeman. He harassed and goaded Martin until Martin got angry enough to attack Zimmerman. I’m not saying I buy that lawyer’s view of the case. But it was something to think about.
I was talking about self-preservation....not the righteousness of the shoot. Never draw to an inside straight.
“If anyone ever, for whatever reason, pulls a gun on me, they had BETTER kill me, because if I can I’m going to get it away from them and use it on them.”
You might think that sounds brave or tough, but in reality that’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Just saying you may want to rethink making that a general rule, but if that’s your decision, good luck.
