Another Vigilante Gun Death!

According to police, three juvenile males from Middletown approached two adult males outside the Dayton Mall around 10:00 a.m. Saturday. They say one of the juveniles produced a gun and demanded merchandise from the adult males. Police say one of the males, who had a valid concealed carry weapon permit, pulled out a gun of his own and shot the teen who had the gun. That teen, identified as Jawaad Jabbar, 16, died from a single gunshot wound. [More]
If only they would disarm you and me!
“It is tragic that someone lost their lives over tennis shoes, possibly,” said Sgt. Phares.
That's hardly the reason, Sarge.  And as far as tragedy goes, neutralizing such a liability may actually register as a net gain.

self defense is not vigilante-ism.

You must be not be a regular here, because I've been beating that drum and using the term sarcastically to illustrate the point for years.

Actually David I have been following you for many years and agree with your positions more than probably anyone else.
I hope you had a joyous Christmas & that the New Year will turn out to be better than all those before.

Place me in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm at your peril. It has nothing to do with the tennis shoes in my hand and all to do with the gun in yours.
