Bad shoot all the way around... but... he did say he would take it from him and use it on him, and grabbed for it.

I'm guessing that'll go a long ways towards clearing the shooter in court.

I'm gonna quote Sam Elliot from the movie Conager, because it fits.... anybody who kills when he can do otherwise is just plain crazy....and.... be sure when the killing time comes you're standing on the right side of it.

The shoot discussed here.... while maybe technically legal... was neither necessary nor right.

The gun should never have been brought into this, the guy was mad, but appeared reasonable, up until the gun came out.
