Congratulations to you. You have just proven MY point. Had it been a regular guy, he would be sitting in jail. Thanks Jax.
Please show me an example of a citizen being locked up for defending himself and his family using a firearm! I would like to see it....
Your wish is my command.
Police arrested Antoine, a 27-year-old from Boynton Beach, Friday night on charges of second degree murder and attempted first degree murder.
Antoine's attorney, Kelly Landers, said Antoine was confronted by two "large" men who were armed around 3 a.m. Monday outside of Mystique Lounge in downtown West Palm Beach. Landers said the two men hit Antoine and then threatened to kill him.

There's one. Need more?
He saw Lonny standing there. He said, what are you doing here Lonny? At that moment Lonny lunged toward the deacon. They both fell to the floor. The Deacon stuck his hand in his pocket to pull out the gun to scare Lonny. Lonny saw the gun and grabbed his hand. They struggled and the gun went off and shot Lonny once in the chest.
He fell over. Sam rushed to call to report the emergency. Lonny was pronounced dead at the scene. Sam was taken in for questioning. The police discovered the long running feud between Sam and Lonny. They also learned about Sams joking comments to get Lonny first. Sam was charged with premeditated murder.
Sam was held for several weeks in the city jail. After many consultations with his attorney and a new investigation, new evidence was presented that cleared Sam of murder charges.

BTW, Sam didn't just get to walk home. He had to go under an investigation and was held for several weeks.

BAKERSVILLE, Ohio — An eastern Ohio man says he killed a black bear in self defense because the bear charged at him — but he's been charged with shooting an endangered animal.
John Tanksley says his dog tried to chase the bear away from his property at Newcomerstown in Coshocton County but the animal kept coming back.
He says that when he and his girlfriend tried to get the dog back in the house on Wednesday the bear charged at them.
State wildlife officer Garth Goodyear describes the bear as "man-size" and weighing 165 pounds.
If Tanksley is convicted of the misdemeanor offense he could get up to one year behind bars and be fined $1,000.

And that one is just for shooting a bear in self defense.
No a NORMAL citizen as you guys put it would not be facing murder charges in this situation...again proved examples of your claims...not just blow smoke like most ATS meatheads who bash WITHOUT facts or knowledge of the incident....rather on pure hate and opinion.
Care to apologize for calling me a meathead and saying I bash without facts or knowledge? Thank you.

Yes, this is all completely relevant to the topic.
I have a question. What would happen if you were out with your family, and a couple of people decided to attack you with "whatever". Would you give them a hug? Maybe, a handshake? Or resort to stopping the threat? Because clearly they were just going to attack you and not anyone else.
