A case in point that most everyone here will probably remember. In my own city, Joe Horn shot two robbers and was completely convicted on the national media stage. When it went in front of the grand jury, the DA's office presented the evidence and it died right there.
Not to derail this thread, but there was a witness to the Horn Shooting that many people are not aware of.

The shooting by Mr. Horn was witnessed by a Police Officer. That, more than anything, is what helped to exonorate Mr. Horn according to the people I have spoken with about his case. Just like when we witness something on the street, we often don't know what's really going on, despite our best pre-conceived notions, or who all the players are.

Thus it makes sense to be very hesitant to use your firearm. That Mr. Fish can be prosecuted in a "gun friendly" state like Arizona, and it took a witnessing Police Officer to help exonorate Mr. Horn should give people pause.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
