[QUOTE="dbarbee, post: 1022545, member: 7939"] We always hear the scenarios like this and I agree they should definitely be considered before jumping in, but what if they really were thugs and innocent people were about to be killed? It could have even been one of his friends pumping the gas while he went in the store. According to the justifiable homicide statute, it would not be justifiable homicide (Not a spouse, parent, child, etc) But, according the the SDA, deadly force seems to be is authorized. (prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony) What I read is that you are authorized to kill the thug, but not justified. Seems like a contradiction to me or at least a very gray area, am I missing something? BTW, I agree with what others have said, while they are great references, the handouts received in CCW class won't be considered in court, only whats written in the law. Even the SDA pamphlet is only a compilation of relevant statutes, it doesn't include everything dealing with firearms and deadly force. [/QUOTE]
