No - I guess we are all just a bunch of dumb hicks!

The guy was being forced into a bathroom at gunpoint by an armed robber. He was a trained military man. You don't think he sensed danger?

But don't belittle those of us that don't blame a CCH holder who justifiably takes a criminals life to save his own or others around him/her.

I call it liberal coddling. I am not going to look at the guy holding a gun to my head and attempt to foresee the possible future good in him.


If I was in the guys shoes, I'd shot the criminal too, and not lost a moments sleep over it.

Why Tee, you little heathen you! j/k

BTW, speaking of moral highroads, a woman that has been raped and strangled with her own pantyhose is not morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun standing over a dead would be rapist.

Call me what you'd like. I'd rather follow in the priest's actions (again, from Les Miserables) and display undeserved kindness than rashly take someone's life - even if it means risking my own in the process.

I'm putting big holes in em.

the law of unintended consequences applies equally to citizens and politicians.

politicians create laws that supplant solutions while concealed holder citizens create solutions.

Scumbags know more about dodging legalities than they know about dodging lead.
