re: #357 Naso Tang

Easy for you to say. Let’s take out the after the fact knowledge that he was a veteran with all the emotional connotations involved.

Do I assume that you would wait until an obviously armed man fired at you before firing back or would you attempt to shoot at his hand reaching for his weapon?

Anyone who carries weapons (plural I add) in a normally safe public place has to be held to a higher standard of behavior that the rest of us.

He hadn’t broken any laws and he had a permit. The weapon was never pulled out until the officer told him to. The Costco employee who called 911 said someone saw the weapon on his back and went to the store security. Store security said he got upset when told he wasn’t allowed to have the gun in the store. That’s what he was shot over, carrying a legal weapon.
