#1 An armed society is a polite/civil society.

#3 "Yeah, they saw everything that happened. One of them was real shaken."

And probably see their step-dad as a f-cking hero.

#4 I think it's a law in some states that you have to be armed in order to be in the vicinity of a Family Dollar store.

#6 From the comments on the actual article, the man was a permit holder. So Self-Defense+Permit+no sue law means he should be okay legally.

#7 He might still be in trouble for excessive shooting since he appears to have fired until empty. Unless he wasn't a very good shot.

#9 he appears to have fired until empty.

Any thing worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Or more.

#10 The stress of combat will do that to you. If you're lucky.

#11 The whacko might have been on meth; in which case it might have taken several shots to stop him. Or simply because he was crazy might have given him an adrenalin rush. I have heard of cases where a 9mm was emptied on a crazy before the guy was stopped. This might also suggest moving up to a higher caliber such as a 40 or 45 cal with some good man-stopper ammo.

#13 empty your gun til he quits moving, even if it's bouncing on the pavement. Better to be judged by 12...

#14 9mm ball or wadcutters vs psychotic tweeker probably needs a full magazine.

Don't forget that under stress, he probably missed more than a few times. First time under fire (assault in this case), you get pretty spun up.

#15 He might still be in trouble for excessive shooting since he appears to have fired until empty.

I dunno, if it works for the police, it ought to work for the average Joe on the street. I say blast him until you can't blast him any more, then stand ready to pistol whip the guy in case he gets up again.
