I've decided to come up with a list of reasons NOT to shoot someone or draw your weapon on them. Among them are....

cutting in line at the grocery store
cutting you off in traffic
spitting on your car
"stealing" your parking space
asking for spare change
"mean mugging" or "mad dogging" you
making rude comments about your significant other
spraypainting graffitti in your back yard
farting in your general direction

any others?

This one does not justify escalation......

Well, unless you simply increase the bean load above that which was discharged at you. :cool:

Are suppressed weapons considered poor sportsmanship in this regard?

Remember that assault is just the mental intimidation of a threat, often accompanied by physical battery, which can be argued in cases of intentional gassing for the purpose of causing discomfort.

In CA a few yrs ago a tagger was tagging a storefront and a guy walked up , took a pic of them and the mess and told them he was calling the police. The two taggers attacked him and both were shot - I cant recall if they survived.

The guy got prosecuted but found not guilty of everything, including ccw'ing with no permit. He tried applying several times prior to the shooting but was turned down.

Never ever shoot people for being stupid. The loss of 98% of the population would be bad for the economy.

I'd be inclined to disagree. Since all my grand parents have passed, if I were in a situation where they were offering me candy of any type... I think opening fire is called for.
