A) the article says they were
B) he says they didn't threaten him directly, but that he didn't know their intentions, either. As the only person in this scenario who was minding his own damn business, he deserves to be heard out.
C) So, is that your perception, or a fact? Making snap decisions about people's intentions seems to be the order of the day...QUOTE]


A) the article said they had gone partway into his yard, then ran back to the car. When he shot at them they were driving by in their car.
B) and C) So, the snap decisions of a guy putting bullets in kid's heads is OK, but us supposing he's a nut is not? Good thing I don't go around shooting people I perceive to be bonkers.

Unless they're in your house. Then, I recommend as large a caliber as you can handle accurately and safely. There are probably local firearm safety classes that can help you with any questions you might have.

Oh, unless you live in a country where The Government Has Done Something About The Gun Problem.

In that case, you're already perfectly safe.



Oh, did you guys hear about the guy who was swimming around with what should have been a harmless stingray and got stabbed in the heart? Something's got to be done about stingray barbs before more innocents are lost.
