I was thinking the same thing that was a little too close.

I am not going to pick this one apart...it would take too long.

I am just glad the lady and her child weren't hurt.

This one is a case of "should versus could".

Totally legally righteous...but.....................
God bless, and sincere thanks to all our fine people in uniform.  You pay for our freedom, and for that we owe you all we can give you.  Thank you.

Armchair QB-ing is not going to do anyone any good unless you were there.  Initially, baby + firing gun in close proximity;  BAD.

This guy could be a IDPA member, an NRA certified instructor, graduate of RP's school, someone who is confident in his ability to hit the target,  The point is we don't know.

He saw, drew and fired. 3 shots 3 hits, no charges.,..... BG in prison, somehow not dead ???

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

This is old news.

I think the angle of the video makes tha shot look more risky to the bystanders than it was.  The guy is obviously on target to hit a moving man 3 out of 3, so it was not too close for  his skill.

Worse tho, the guy reportedly went on to post macho "I got the SOB" type videos showing "Cowboyish" gun handling (no offense to Cowboys intended at all).  I saw none of them, just read the reports.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Everything else aside.  He lived to go to jail!?!?!?! 

Hopefully everyone thinks real hard about that one for a while.  Take from it what you want, I think the guy shooting did good.  He handled that gun pretty confidently.  Probably still got sue'd by somebody!

Interesting.

I think the angle makes it seem closer to the baby than it really was. I noticed that he didn't sweep anyone (other than the BG) with his muzzle. Seems to be fairly well trained. I don't know how sound the logic is on drawing against an armed BG, but it worked for this guy.

I personally don't think I would have made the same choice. I probably would have given the guy the money and let him get the heck out of town.
