After being robbed at gunpoint, while carrying, what can you do?

[scap99]

Wow... So I guess this means any time I carry my handgun, I will also have on my track shoes!

Not a bad idea to always wear shoes that you can move in if you have to...

 

[Tejano Scott]

Makes me wonder what kinda shoes Bernie Goetz had on to elude law enforcement for 9 days?

**** that!
Is it worth dying for a $50 DVD player?
No? Then don't steal.

I think you are letting the ease of writing on the internet overrun you common sense.

Are you willing to spend over $10k in legal fees and risk prison over that? Do you really think a life is worth that?

 

[Tejano Scott]

Well I might if I can flee before anyone gets there!


I am seriously going to start running more around my neighborhood and get back into shape!

Your a moderator now anyways, you need to be in tip top shape incase you need to take action on the boards bro..LOL

The value of life is in the hands of the POS that decided his target's life is worth a DVD player. He set the table stakes.
You make big boy decisions, you get to play by the big boy rules.

I've been held at gun point, so I am keenly aware of the mental bullshit my wife and I had to work through.

I know you're wanting to hear common sense and moral high ground, but right now.....I just ain't feeling it.

I think it's a shame that we've been programmed to accept a theft because it's not that expensive to replace the item.

One place I agree with the Muslims is the chopping off of a hand for theft.

You're right.
No it doesn't.

I still have anger issues regarding the situation.

another philosopy I do have is YOU LET SOMEONE get away with say a simply carjacking and do nothing. next week they break into your car and are stealing your shit in front of your house. IF THEY keep noticing people are easy bait hell they may make a life career out of this. Not you through some shots at that fucker and he may think of a career choice. I can honeslty say if someones breaking into my car I beileve without being in this situation I would utilze my firearm. All these legal fees you speak of means nothing because you wouldnt be charge with something like that so no attorrney is needed and the police may be thanking for you for your actions.

there are plenty of lives that together arent worth a busted ass VHS tape. let alone a dvd player.

but those guys already the subject of numerous other threads.

tired of hearing all this 10K plus defense for a legal shooting. You think really if someone is raping your wife when you get home and you shoot the fer that your going to jail or ever seek charges. HELL NO. so that goes out the window man. geez.

Raping my girlfriend, I wouldn't hesitate. Stealing an insured piece of property worth less than $500, maybe another story.

It would be easier to help the guy load up your TV in his truck than pulling a trigger.IMO

for sure. Both scenrios legal right. Eyes of the law no one will be charged. I understand not taking minimal things turning them into bigger by shooting but damn, use some common sense and 10K is a overstatement anyways IMO.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Yes and no... As an attorney, I can tell you this. Whether it was justified or not, you are going to want to have an attorney present with you when you make your statement to police. You are going to want to have an attorney be your "point man" with the police/DA until it's finally decided its a "justified" homicide. Since it seems most of these go to a Grand Jury, justified or not, then you will definitely want an attorney for that. Is 10k that far fetched in that situation? Absolutely not. At $300 hour, I could easily see an attorney working 33 hours(10k) worth of work to handle the items mentioned above.

 

[bagged02]

Kinda bro. They ask questions. I shot beacuse I was in fear for my life. Anything after that, I respect your questions but I need a attorney present before we continue. THey can no longer ask you anything else. If they have nothing else then he says go home and you MAY get a call from a detective working the case. No need to run out and get a attorney until you have been arrested. Even after that no need until you have been Indited. You can be arrested and never be charged with the crime.

 

[Tejano Scott]

Is that your legal opinion or what you hope happens?

 

[txinvestigator]

You're right.

I don't blame you. I imagine I would too.

Pay attention. No one said anything about protecting persons. Nicec try at hyperbole.
