re: #254 Rightwingconspirator

We have no evidence that is what was in his mind. The CCW critics seem to view him with more suspicion than an unarmed guy trying to do the same. He may have just thought he had the ability to stop a killer, and failed in a worthy effort. The law is very clear about the average citizens permission to stop a violent felony in progress with force.

I’m not a CCW critic. This guy might have been any number of CCW holders that I’m perfectly fine with having CCWs. Just having a CCW doesn’t get any sort of criticism from me.

I’m not sure what you said in any way differs from what I said. He thought he was able to stop a killer. He failed. I”ve never for a moment argued that it should be illegal to do what he did so I’ve got no idea why you’re saying that it was permissible. It’s permissible to jump into a rushing river to try to save someone’s life, too. It doesn’t mean it’s the best thing to do.
