Whether or NOT this person violated the LAW? He defended LIFE, as a matter of Course (Life, Liberty, Property[Persuit Of Happiness])...
That being said? AS a Signatory, of the Constitution of The United States?
The Second Amendment, comes into play (and NO KIDS, NOT the Tenth)...
Gun LAWS are UnConstitutional, and therefore by that reckoning? The LAW must side upon the Second amendment, which trumps ANY gun law written by Any State.
For in my view? Un Constitutional, and the LAW must side with the ACT with that weapon, rather than the mere POSESSION of the weapon.
It's fairly simple, and I think the Founders, if alive today would SIDE with the so-called "PERP" because he was defending LIFE, as we are called to do against those that threaten it.
Enough said. I just have seen too much parsing here that makes me really ILL. Wake up people.
