Kudos for the outcome and the governments response...HOWEVER
NEVER EVER, B]EVER[/B] let this be how it goes down.....
"Contreras drew his weapon and pointed it at the shooter and his wife, according to the report, and there are conflicting reports about whether he fired. The shooter drew his handgun and began to order Contreras to drop his weapon, according to the report. "
When the BG has the drop on you (i.e. he's got his gun out) you do NOT tell him to drop the weapon.....You pull and shoot.
Other than that......Arizona is VERY high on my short list of where I'm moving to when I finish my degree.
