Maybe it was a case of the hunted that became the hunted?Quote:

I’ve got it. He didn’t give the suspect any time to put his hands up, before he shot. nor did he give the suspect any chance to shoot at him, if he had a gun. Clearly an open and shut case, he had no way of recognizing if his suspect was armed, so he could not actually know he was shooting in self defence. I’m reminded of the police officer who yell at a bank robber to haul, at which point the bank robber wheeled around and shot the officer in the head. It is really kind of strange how acting in self defence has to work. It appears to completely overlook that a crime was in progress.

Ok - if that happened to me down here this is what I would have done - get my loaded gun from the night stand next to the bed - grab a flash light - then go outside and put the light on the guy while pointing the gun at him - I would tell him if he moves he's dead - I would then call 911 on my iPhone and wait for the cops to arrive - now if the guy moves like gets out of the truck and comes towards me or I would again tell him I will shoot him - if he keeps coming at me I have no recourse but to shoot - I wouldn't like to do that but at that point my life is in danger and one of us is going to win - now the cops come and want to know what happened - I tell them he guy tried to take my gun and I shot him in self defense - I would probably get a medal for taking a crook off the streets - now if the guy in the truck gets out and starts running away I would just fire a couple rounds into the air over his head - I think he won't be trying to steal my truck again - unless he's really stupid
By the time you did all that Joe, most Canadians would have had to go down 3 flights to the basement, took time to open the safe, the open another cabinet to get some ammo, then back up two flights and try and find a flashlight.
By then all you'd see was your truck taillights rounding the corner HaHa..
Seeing his truck rounding the corner would have been a better outcome for Khill.Quote:

If the gun is in one hand, the flashlight is in the other, how are you going to call 911?Quote:

The flash light is one of those very small Led lights that clips on to the gun - or I can ask the crook to hold the light while I call the copsQuote:
