Where is the proof that the guy threatened he had gun? Reached behind back etc. Video? Recording? Or is bit just wife of shooter and shooter??? The lack of gun would lead me to suspect that it's bs.

Never ceases to amaze me at the derp in the world over stuff like this. Telling each other they have guns, etc.. only escalates the situation.

You got out of your vehicle and approached another person vehicle in a threatening manner just because he told "you have a problem"? You was so busy trying to prove to your wife that you are man, which almost got you killed. I am glad you learned from your mistake. That could have easily been deemed as self-defense. I had a guy that jumped out the car on me and approched my car. I told him he better get back in his car and don't ever approach someone like that again.

I think (and please let me emphasize the word think) that is for self defense where the castle doctrine does not apply. For example you are out in public and shoot someone in self defense you can be sued in civil court even if it is self defense. But as I understand it if you are in your home or car or any place where you have protection under the CD you have immunity from civil suit as long as the initial investigation showed the CD was in effect.

We had a little unwritten rule when I was serving overseas. If you're going to shoot someone shoot them until they are dead. When only one person is alive to tell the story about what happened then that becomes the facts of the case. I suspect the shooter and his wife will have the same story and that will ultimately be the only thing the investigators have to go by.

I admit I have been somewhat of a road rager. I've done the old brake check many a time. I may or may not have cut in front of someone in traffic a few times to make a point. I may or may not have downshifted a few times to let my loud exhaust do my talking.
As I have gotten older, and times have gotten more violent. I tend to take that into consideration now before I act on some impulses. Also having a little girl who I'm her world keeps me mindful of stupid actions I would have acted on in the past.
That's why I have insurance. Let them handle it. The couple of accidents I have had. The very first thing out of my mouth whether it's my fault or theirs is are y'all OK. For most people that goes a long way to calm the situation. Not always. But I know I react accordingly to how people approach me. I would like to think everyone is pretty much the same.
I guess in a lot of ways I'm getting soft in my old age. Lol. It's just not worth the headache to me to argue over an accident. That's what coverage is for.

Prayers up for victim's family and friends.



Side Note: Common since and good judgement goes a long way! Just my two cents.

Sounds to me like telling someone your armed is a fast way to escalate things in a bad way... probably never letting them know till you have to use it is a much better moral.

Someone getting shot over a parking lot ding... wow.

Castle law makes no difference. If you are licensed, cleared, you can't be chased down for civil suit. The insurance is there to help you fight/prove your case in the event you are indicted. But, once no billed or proven to be self defense via trial, no civil suit.

We don't have all the facts. I'll bet that's what the detectives and DA are focusing on right now. Getting the facts.

I completely support the second amendment, right to bear arms, and LTC, but I also completely believe that a large number of people with a LTC and who do pack heat do not have the responsibility or patience to act responsibly with it. Thankfully most never have or are put in a situation to use it.

Wisdom.

This entire thread is making me want to kick the chit out of someone!

Be a duck, gentlemen. Just let it roll off...like water off a duck's back. There is very little in this life that is worth being killed or killing over. If you find yourself to be the kind of guy that HAS to be right or be respected, it's just a matter of time before you meet another one. Be a duck!
