Thank you! I feel so much better now.

No No...I don't mean you'd shoot him over that...I mean if you say something to him and get involved, and then he attacks you, say even with a weapon, and you all of the sudden find yourself in a life or death situation, and you are FORCED to defend yourself. The DA is going to say that Mr. Books chose to get involved in a situation he should not have and should have known better to do that while he was armed. Because EVEN IF YOU HAD TO use your gun to defend yourself, you took part in the circumstances that lead to that...that is the way it was explained to me by the CCW trainer.
Well, I'm neither a lawyer nor a "CCW trainer," but I suspect your trainer was telling you that you can't provoke a confrontation and then claim self defense.
EDIT: Don't know when you took your class, but I wonder if he didn't have Zimmerman in mind with that.
You know, I helped a dear friend teach a friend of hers to shoot. This friend of my dear friend was uber-religious. A really, really sweet, naive, UBER-RELIGIOUS lady. I made it through Lesson 1 okay ...Lesson 2 also, I think ...
Lesson 3, however, was a bust. Some guy was rapid-firing while I was trying to tell her something. I swear he was watching me try to talk because I'd stop for a minute to let him finish ... then when I opened my mouth he'd start back up again!! :finger: About the fourth or fifth time I tried to say something and he started shooting like he was cornered by lions, I ... very quietly, under my breath, said "GDit!! MF'r ... WHAT is HIS deal??"OK, well, I DIDN'T think she could hear me ... she hadn't heard anything else I'd said for the previous 15 minutes ...
Bless her heart ... She just smiled and said "Yeah, our darling friend here warned me that might happen. But I gotta tell you ... You cuss so effortlessly that it's hard to be offended."God bless her little heart ...
are you sure were not related?
It was pre-zimmerman...another guy I know also said that his class teacher told him something similar and that he was to be held to a higher standard and avoid any and all conflict or risk being liable for his role in it if it led up to deadly force. It makes since to me.
Next time it happens, just get loud back and say:
"Lady! I got buddies who died face down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant!
Bust out some Walter ****. He'll yeah I like the way you roll.
I can't stand it, and I applaud the guys/gals that say they will say something to someone if they are using the f-word and stuff. If I'm with my family, especially my children, I will say something. There aren't many people with any class nowadays. Like what the guy said earlier, I will cuss like a sailor when I'm around my friends, but have respect when it's needed. Another thing that gets on my nerves, is when I hold the door open for someone and they don't say thank you, or when I let someone out in traffic and they don't wave. I guess I'm a hard-ass, lol My wife says I'm getting worse the older I get and I'm not even 50 yet!
