Citizen tries to help stop shoplifter by shooting employee

[Kruel J]

Part of carrying responsibly is practice. I'm guessing the shooter here had virtually none. Common these days, people running out to buy their first gun to carry concealed yet they can't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

Okay so based on this attack on my comment we should stop carrying concealed because our intentions may not be the proper result what !

The "IGNORE" button fixes all.........

Can't hit the walls of an elevator car from inside the elevator!! Winds up shooting self in the leg....

MAKE AMMO CHEAP AGAIN!

Love the comments, that is a face only a mother could love... but probably doesn't.

So true.... the suspect's photo is proof that Desi Arnaz was cheating on Lucille Ball with a circus performing manatee....

A face you couldn't hit just once - scoured from the bottom of the gene pool without a question.

Maybe the family tree looks more like a telephone pole?

In this case, it seems her "intention" for CCW was overbroad, way beyond defense of self and family (as in super hero, cop complex, save the world). Regardless, it was not a good outcome . . . except for the shoplifter. And that thought raises questions. Was the shoplifter perhaps a family member? Was this woman a better shot that we give her credit for?

Wow that's crazy. Besides the shooting part, it reminded me of how bold thieves are getting now too. Fe this lady in vancouver WA not only stole a 65" tv from the store, she flagged down a van to help her move it, then stole the van!

You guys are mean. The article said "a woman", but for all that we now this walrus may be identifying itself as a woman and thus the newspaper respected its gender identity.

That and there a movie about this:

 

[JakeWidme]

is that a question? or some smart statement?

Not at all. I have never experienced it and hope never to. I have high pain tolerance but that's over the top

Arizona bystander firing at shoplifting suspect accidentally shoots store employee

As sad as this was I did have to laugh.

Whatever bad stuff anybody says about this 'woman', I maintain that no shoplifting occurred on her watch

The point being, despite the noblest intentions, we live in a reality of results. The lady who fired the gun shot the wrong person. Even if it was an accident on her part it doesn't change the outcome that she just shot a guy.

Do you think the person she shot is sitting there, thinking, "your intentions were in the right place, it's ok you shot me." - unlikely .

Anyone who carries a gun may have good intentions, but that doesn't excuse them from the outcomes of their choices.

are you as interested in the person that shot me, just fishing? you are entitled to you opinion, i disagree with that opinion.

I suspect her defense will be difficult. It's hard to claim you feared for your life - when in fact, you simply witness shoplifting.

And another thing - When I see a threat, It's a handful to take my eyes off the aggressor and take time to survey the backstop. But this duality must take place, so that my bullet does not hit an unintended. And This extra time might cost me my life. Things usually happen very fast in a self defense scenario.

With laws the way they are these days, It's difficult for a LEO, in a good shoot, to walk away unscathed by the law.

I suspect she will plead to one of the two charges against her and lose her gun rights for 5 years

The prosecutor generally drops one of the charges with their plea bargain...

It's very hard to understand from what you wrote what point you're trying to make.

My point you quoted was pretty clear. The outcome matters more than the intention. Ever heard, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Really? That is not a bet I would wager on.
