Reply #2: I don't really think it's fair to paint [View All]

an entire group with the same broad brush. And if the defendant's version of the story is the correct one, then it should indeed be considered self-defense. Of course, it's the jury's job to decide whether or not he's telling the truth, but if someone were being attacked the way he said he was, then he has the right to defend himself.

I don't think people can ever truly understand the overwhelming, all-consuming, blot-out-all-else terror experienced during an attack or a robbery or similar incidents. Until you experience that, like I did last month, it's really hard to understand someone shooting another person in self-defense. But if you have experienced it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Until you do, though, hold off on the easy judging. I never thought I'd be on the RKBA side, but I am determined that I will never be a victim again and, if the lowlife pond scum who robbed me and shoved his gun in my ribs and my neck had a weapon that he could use to have power over my life and death, then I, a law-abiding citizen, should have the right to carry a weapon to protect and defend myself with. My son kept flashing through my mind the whole time of my mugging, and I will not leave him motherless because someone else had a weapon and I didn't!
