Attorneys Answer Q: Guns in Truck

I guess I have led a charmed life.
The only times in my life when I might have needed to use a gun, was when I was carrying a gun.

Of course these days we are just back to the wild, wild west of shoot 'em up.

 

Sp a guy trying to protect himself = a guy trying to be a ######?

And no, $$ doesn't matter.

 

I don't know, you ask the questions, you answer them.

 

Dude went well past protecting himself. He ahd already wounded the robber, who was getting away. Robber stole some money from him and somewhat succeeded so I could argue that dude didn't really defend himself. I don't understand why he picked up a random person (assuming he's a stranger) in a bad area in the first place. I could also argue that the best way he could have protected himself was to not pick him up in the first place. It's one thing to shoot someone, but he ran after dude and emptied his gun on him. That was overkill...pardon the pun. That's what I really was critical of.

 

You know, I didn't even think about the shooter being a cabbie so that changes my viewpoint somewhat. I still stand on the overkill stance. As to the gun he chose, I'm so ignorant on firearms I couldn't tell you. Given this took place 40 years ago, maybe that was the only weapon he could come across, or maybe the barrel was pretty.....that sounded kind of nasty lol.

 

HA HA HA, THATS a good one. ha ha ha.

 

I don’t know, I’ve been out here 5/6 years and I haven’t been in a situation yet where I wished I had a firearm. I know that situation is always lurking though. Wrong place at the wrong time and it can happen. That said I’ve seen how short tempered and angry some truck drivers get. And there seems to be more and more of them. I could see situations where maybe a finger back-and-forth could easily be replaced with gunfire back-and-forth. I can handle someone giving me the finger and just ignore it, but honestly many drivers out there see red instantly. I am pro- 2nd amendment. No doubt.

 

So, if you and your family get hit by a home invader, you get your arse beat, and your lady gets her teeth knocked out, you are cool with that perp leaving after you wake up and chase him out the house with an axe, correct?
