That is of course, unless its a brinks guard. He can shoot you for getting too close to their van.

Such is the world of the wealthy vs the little fish store owner.

I read that the shop owner was pistol whipping the crook when the shot accidentally went off. The only notion I can come up with for the owner's arrest was carelessness. Perhaps they feel he endangered others not involved in the incident.

Oh hell no. Something is wrong with the law there.

I would also say the article probably isn’t accurate or leaving out some key details. The OP has a history of finding misleading and incomplete information

How the hell do you "accidentally" shoot someone who's assaulting you?

That's the stupidest thing I've heard today.

Probably why there are charges filed. I don’t think we have to complete story

Shoot 'em both in the face, enjoy their last gurgles, and hide the bodies.

Jesus Christ, do I have to provide ALL the solutions??
