self-defense law

Not truly apples and apples, that is true. The event did not occur with BG having advance knowledge that there was an armed OCer present.

It is a case though that, while OC did not prevent the crime, it did stop the BG from doing further damage, OCer did use lethal force, OCer was not treated any differently by the authorities because he was OCing than if he had been CCing.

We have that case from last year or the year before where the OCDO forum member was attacked from behind as he loaded (groceries?) in his car after dark. Turned and shot one of two robbers. I cannot recall if he was no-billed by the grand-jury or if the prosecutor just decided not to pursue charges. I do recall that it took a while to settle out. He may have been CCing at the time.

Common sense says we should have a lower bar. After all anyone who would attack
someone who obviously has a gun is definitely very unstable and dangerous.
But unless you are politically connected don't bet on it, keep your mouth shut.

I remember a Texas incident where he was OC'ing his shotgun when the two "Displaced Foreign Travelers"
attacked him in his yard. The undercover cops comment of "I wasn't going out there, and be mistaken for one of them" ROTFL
