Right-to-Carry permit holder stops and kills armed robbers

[Defnestor]

"How about if people just start running around here, policing the city on their own? How much worse is it going to get?"

I say it's worth trying. Maybe someone can get one of those gun violence grants to study the effects of an armed and motivated citizenry on felonies.

The actual SDA law manual doesn't appear to use those terms but the references to the CLEET training material includes items such as "self-defense and the use of appropriate force" that should be covered during the training.

You're right, I'm looking through it and can't find it anywhere. I'll keep looking, but it appears I may have been mistaken.

"In addition to being exempt from criminal charges, ... because of the Castle Doctrine, the shooter now has civil protection from being sued by the families."

Good for them - PA has the CYA clause in their laws!

We could use more DA's like this guy. Hopefully the liberal media doesn't hang him out to dry.

I have been following this. The family is talking about "they were good boys" and "He just wanted to pay his child support"

My thought. That is two Hillary won't get in 2016 ( they might vote in chicago though) and the taxpayers of PA have been saved lots of money and quite a few people probably won't become victims of crime. You chose the behavior you choose the consequences. There was something one woman said about everyone going around the neighborhood patrolling with guns. She said it in a sarcastic way, but the reality is it would probably be safer. Cops are minutes away when seconds count.

I'm on the guy's side, but he placed a great responsibilty on himself. I wouldn't enter a scenerio like that voluntarily, nor would I shoot someone over someone else's money. Having read the article I would say to the armed citizen, "You're a better man than I, Gunga Din!"
