Good news, maybe?

 

He shot the robber to "stop the offender from running him over with the car" sounds like a California orange - color added. I hope he sticks to that story, because shooting someone running off with your property is not self-defense, rather something that includes meals and limited mobility. Leaving your car running, unattended, is close to suborning a felony.

 

Um, no. Not close to suborning anything. Not even the same zip code, friend.

Use of deadly force to prevent a property crime is not a good idea, unless you want to spend several years in the pen. Whether you agree with the concept or not, that's how the courts are ruling. Andrew Branca's book "The Law of Self-Defense" is a good read. The ISRA published an article a few years back, written by a former DuPage Co. SA (I think), talking about the same thing. He referenced Tennessee vs. Garner. Three questions to answer....1. Is my life in immediate danger? 2. Is someone else's life in immediate danger? 3. Do I have any other options available?
