No, I want you to provide evidence where multiple shots in a short span of time, led to an unjustifiable ruling. You're the one making the claim, its incumbent on you to provide supporting evidence.

My assertion is someone could shoot an assailant, in some localities, with an elephant rifle and the police and prosecutors wouldn't care, as long as they were justified in shooting in the first place.

The pharmacist in Oklahoma could have shot the robber 6 times with a .500 S&W Magnum and most likely have been in the clear. His actions however, were on video and not just the claim of the robber's accomplice. If he reloaded and fired a few more shots, from his same position,he probably would have still been cleared. However, he went and retrieved another handgun, walked up close to the prostrate man and then shot him.

Where do I ever claim I know everything? I claimed I can read and comprehend the Florida Castle doctrine, with out the assistance of a lawyer, which is correct.
