C'mon y'all. It really could have been worse.
For starters, this guy committed the grievous error of firing a "warning shot" at a fleeing perp.
Then, he gets off with a fine and a firearms safety course (seems to imply he doesn't become a prohibited person. Anybody know for sure?) without even a trial.
Really, could have been worse. He was smart to take the plea.
Also, I'm glad this man didn't go to jail for a mistake I totally understand, but the self-defense law in Virginia is good.
