I do think the shooter got that memo.Malum Prohibitum said:Of course, YOU can't carry in NJ.
I try to avoid visiting states and cities where I can't carry.M249 said:Glad the officer survived and got the bad guy.
I will never live where I can't carry.
If someone shoots at me, I wouldn't consider myself as having "stopped the threat" with return fire until they were on the ground and not moving.SilentGhost said:And he didn't get in trouble for shooting at him while he was running away? :jawdropper:
I honestly don't know what I'd do. I think I would be with you, since a guy running away might be trying to get a (bigger) gun out of his car or bring his pals back with even more weaponry. I do know that shooting someone in the back won't look good legally, though.mzmtg said:If someone shoots at me, I wouldn't consider myself as having "stopped the threat" with return fire until they were on the ground and not moving.SilentGhost said:And he didn't get in trouble for shooting at him while he was running away? :jawdropper:
Someone turning to run is NOT the end of the confrontation.
The prison guard was quick on his feet and looks like he did very, very well under fire.
The guy already shot at him once.budder said:I honestly don't know what I'd do.

Sure, he's a threat to me. I don't know if he's a threat to the jury. Hence the problem. I think I'd shoot in this particular situation, but who knows what I'd do when it just comes down to it. If there's one thing that the (little) FATS training I did taught me, it was that a little hesitation can easily become a lot of hesitation, if you catch my drift.mzmtg said:As long as he still has a gun in his hand, he’s a threat, regardless of which way he’s facing.
