Well done in Felony Way. We can work on the owner's marksmanship later.

Wow looks like he had a nice capacity gun. I count maybe 9 shots in the windshield and 7 shown at the arrows.

Hard to tell from angles of the video if the other car recieving a bullet at sportsman's was from the good guy or bad guy. Could have been one of those exiting the back window of the silver truck but hard to tell.

Looks to be a marine corps vet? Good to see that the good guy was not arrested.

Notice how the headline fails to mention the thief pulled a gun on the owner?

Maybe the story was just edited but it stated the suspected thief pulled his first.

It is in the details in the story, but not in the headline. *shrug*

And the Darwin Award should go to the "Rocket Scientist" that stole a truck with all of those stickers on the back window.

I support this level of criminal deterrence. I understand that the law will likely view this as some form of murder - I'm also not advocating for breaking the law, but I have zero sympathy for the thief.

I thought the good guy was not arrested or charged with anything. Did I read the article wrong?

As much as a liberal DA would like to, the fact that the criminal produced a gun himself is enough reason for the victim to defend himself, and it would play out that way in court. No DA likes to lose in court.

I'm not so sure the law will view it as "Murder". Pretty sure you are allowed to defend yourself if a thief pulls a gun on you.

The article had limited information. Perhaps you know more?

NRA sticker and a combat medic sticker. Due to the fact the Marine Corps doesn't have medics I don't think he's a Marine. But all I have to go off of are the decals pictured.

Just as an example, in some jurisdictions, if you go outside to confront the car thief, the PA may view you as instigating the lethal encounter, even if they did draw on you first.

Interesting point of view.

Which law school did you go to?

Medics that take care of the Marines are US NAVY My daughter was a Corpsman in the Navy and trained with Marines then took care of them both in Iraq and at the Naval hospital in Sigonela, Sicily

It is which law school the DA went to, and if they got money from George Soros.

Marine Corps?

Dude shot the he!! out of his own truck, spraying bullets all over the windshield and side, and the thief lived to lie about it in court.

Based on his marksmanship skills, I'm guessing an Air Force Vet. (It's a joke, don't get your panties in a knot)

It's the same concept if you were in a speaking altercation and you pushed someone to get them away from you. If the person you pushed pulled a gun and in return you also pull a gun and shoot you COULD be found at fault. Simply because you initiated the chain of events.

Or chasing someone out of your house and engaging with them.

I don't think the guy did anything wrong personally. But the LAW doesn't always see it that way. He should have called the cops and gave them the info. Even saying I am going to go retrieve my truck would have put some flames under the LEO due to the fact that an altercation was likely. No guarantees but at least you would have documented history.

If you're gunna carry you gotta be smart and have a cool head. I hope this guy doesn't end up in jail. Although personally a truck is t worth me going to jail over. I very selective on what I'm willing/worth to fight over.
