Unfortunate situation.
Unfortunate situation.
Can we please self-moderate and not post gun news stories that have no immediate relevance to open carry?
•(8) KEEP IT ON-TOPIC: All gun rights discussions not directly related to open carry should take place in the "General Discussions" forum and topics that are not related to gun rights at all should take place in "The Lounge". Please police your own posts before posting them and help keep OCDO strong and focused.
•(20) DISRUPTIVE POSTERS WILL BE BANNED: We have struggled over how to address posters who do not significantly break any of the forum rules but whose very presence is disruptive to the forum and to the mission of OpenCarry.org. The result of our deliberations is that we reserve the right to ban anyone, at any time if we determine that you fall into this category. We believe strongly that the internet should foster open dialog but we also need to maintain the forum as a valuable resource for new members and the general public. Any action that threatens this mission could lead to disciplinary action, including being banned.
Yeah, lets only talk about open carry in California in this subsection.
How about everyone share their handgun open carry stories in the last year.........Condition Three, you go first.......
Involuntary manslaughter. He meant to shoot something that he failed to even identify. We simply cannot allow that type of stupidity, carelessness, and fear to go unpunished.
Yeah! Lets punish them! That'll teach them far better than educating or training the public on how to handle tactical situations in their home! And, when that doesn't work, then we can get busy banning guns because the punishment-only model didn't work.
IMO they should do a thorough investigation, then decide how to proceed. At this point I can't see the productivity of throwing this guy in prison if he is telling the truth. Stuff happens, that will never change, at this point it is hard to say what should or should not be done with him is hard to say, at least for me.
Uh....he said he fired at a shadow or silhouett. How many times have you been either of those in your life. You don't see criminal negligence there?
It may very well turn out this is a murder case, then a couple years in prison would not be appropriate. But sure act now let him get off with a couple years and be forgotten. At this point evidence is needed, and then the appropriate people can make a decision.
I won't disagree with that. Just had to refute the " tragic accident" defense that was floated
