well, im glad that he was able to legally fight back. however, the man didnt need to die. i have always told myself whenever or if ever im in a situation like that. would do my best to not kill a man. i'd shoot him in the foot or in the leg....so that he could forever remember his mistake. but kudos to him, i shot my first gun a few weekends back, .44 Magnum, and it was cool. Not sure if i would want a gun in my car all the time. the GF says she would feel uncomfortable riding with me. i admit i would feel uncomfortable too, since i wasnt raised around guns.

violence in america has reached an irresponsibly high mark. what gets into these people? I wonder if the robber knew Jesus?

why? so he can be laying on the ground with a wounded foot and be able to unload on you? think he just wants to shoot you in the foot or leg?

i wish i could carry a gun but i'm not 21 yet so i dont think i can even have it in my car..


i would feel so much safer.. because if something like that happened i wouldnt be afraid to use it...

and to the guy who said u would shoot him in the leg..

first off if ur in a situation like that goodluck aiming for the the leg..
the torso is a much bigger target..

and even if you could hit the leg THE GUY HAD A GUN! he could have still shot you.

i think if your going to carry a gun you should be willing to use it and shoot to kill.. in a situation like that..and not panic..

but damn i wish i could carry one!

let me tell you a little bit about america today. You go ahead and shoot him in the foot and if he does not kill you he will then sue you. If you just kill him that cant happen and he does not have a changce to shoot back. It will all become relevant one day when something happens to you.

and someone who just shot their first gun shooting an apple from 1000 yrds away???

its a joke genius. of course a robber can over come the pain of a shattered foot or femur to be able to stabalize a gun and accurately shoot it. do you understand what goes through a persons head after they realize what has happend? Robbers arnt army hardened warriors, they're more likely to to flee as obviously stated by the media report ( the robber tried to jump into a near by car ) robber's wont stick around if things go wrong. Its not like it is in the movies.

In that part of town I am sure he did. Jesus "pronounced Hesuse" lived around the corner from him and either mowed lawns or did day labor for individuals.

I feel sorry for the victim "the shooter" as now he has to live with the fact that he took another's life. I also congratulate him for doing the right thing at the right time.

Yes and once he fleas the seen you will be picked up by the police and sued by the criminal. It has happened before and the criminal did win. Best thing to do is shoot to kill so that you dont get shot and he doesnt do it again to anyone else.

thank you so much. i was trying to explain but got tired of trying. you just reinforced what i said in a diffrent way.

It is amazing how honest citizens have been sued for stupid stuff by criminals. IE: falling off a ladder they stole from you, cutting them selfs on a windo they broke when breaking in.

and think well i will win anyways yea but it cost you money no matter win or loose
