That is probably 99% of people slicing their thumbs when preparing meat or vegetables.
Yet UK, Australia, South Africa, Canada, etc., are far more safer than the US with its wild west laws.
Anything but common sense and justice rule now in Washington.
Certain ccw people want to kill other unarmed 'violent' people, so the gun holder creates a scene where he can be 'assaulted' and thus able to dispatch the victim.
If and when caught in the act by other responsible ccw observers, such shooters should be shown no mercy. Maybe they can shout "don't resist", and when the shooter turns their way with weapon in hand, they can be dispatched.
And yet the reality, the facts and the truth tell us you don't know what you are talking about.....we now have close to if not over 17 million people who can and do carry guns out in public....we have close to 600 million guns in private hands....
Our gun murder rate? Over the last 25 years has gone down 49%.
Our gun violence rate? Over the last 25 years is down 75%.
Our violent crime rate? Over the last 25 years is down 72%.
The current research into Concealed carry permit holders shows that they are more law abiding than the average citizen, and commit fewer crimes than sworn police officers do.
You are not talking with facts, you have an opinion and that opinion is not based in the truth or reality.
We all have hindsight AFTER the fact. I hate assholes ( yes, any able person that parks in handicapped spot needs a swift kick in the ASS), but that aside: But did the asskickee-need to assault this man? Um, it seemed that Mr. Victim shouldn't have attacked Mr. Gunn guy. Yet again, it seems Mr. Gunn was on some kind of self appointed deputy thing. Mr Gunn could have just pointed his gun at Mr. Victim and that would have pretty much ended the squabble.

People were held accountable for their actions....it is whats missing today.The wild west was very safe...everyone had a gun so everyone was polite.

Heat of passion.....inertia,,,,,,close proximity of the attacker......fear (caused by attacker)......
I don't see this as a stand your ground case. Stand your ground cases involve shootings where the attacker is coming at the victim. Then the victim is not obligated to flee, but can shoot the attacker to defend himself.
In this case, McGlockton was stepping backward. It looks like a simple self-defense (or not) case, not SYG. It's not a matter of whether Drejka should have fled or not, it's a matter of whether he should have fired his gun.
Also, there is the question of inertia mixed with heat of passion. This all happened in the space of a few seconds, and when Drejka shot, he could have still been in a self-defense consciousness, carrying over. Who (that has not been in this situation) is really to say what the shooter might have felt ?
Also, when the gun was fired, McGlockton was still very close to Drejka - well within the standard 21 foot zone for self-defense shooting. Is Drejka under an obligation to automatically assume that he is no longer threatened ? In a blink of an eye (with how close McGlockton was) he still could have bolted toward Drejka, to finish his attack.
I'm not necessarily defending Drejka, but just trying to illuminate some factors not seeming to be discussed too much, which could be relevant.

How do you know this?[/QUOTE][QUOTE="JakeStarkey, post: 20464873, member: 20412”]

Just wondering if you knew who is the instigator.
Verbally assaulting his wife. Do you just stand there watch and play pussy?
Then he got shoved for minding other people’s business. Pulled a gun killing someone just because of handicap parking space. Murderer.
You cant put your hands on people for words. What every kindergartener knows.
You can’t just yelled at my wife or my girlfriend either.
A jerk like that will get more than shoved from me.
You would be committing assault and depending on the ferocity of which would have to expect someone to defend themselves. Lethally if required

You are a prime candidate for a early death. Dangerous attitude to run around with. Both from a legal perspective as well as a common sense perspective. Lots of folks out there who can supprise the hell out of you as Trayvonista and this latest moron foundout. Can you imagine the shock the darky went through when he realized the old guy had inflicted a mortal wound? To be killed by someone you thought was just another p.o.s. white guy. Oh so entitled ---they think they can run around and assault anyone...especially someone they perceive as being weak and no threat.
Also a lot of darkies think the state will allways protect them. How did that work out for this fellow in the incident in Clearwater?
Some folks really need to wise up. Steer clear of violence if at all possible. You will live a lot longer. and perhaps even avoid jail time.

The world doesn’t work that way brother.
There is always saying...... I will also stay on my ground protecting my family.
Yes, the law is the lawAgain, particularly that he continually staged that event.
Yet he never brandished and didn't use the gun someone went hands on ?
What does that mean?
He continually staged the event but never brandished or used his weapon therefore he was looking to use his weapon isnt supported by his factual actions, He used only after being attacked.
Could his actions be considered baiting someone to attack?
I'd say so.
But that doesnt give the guy the right to attack him.
People have disagreements everyday without resorting to violence.
Not that I agree with the shooting but the law is the law.
