That said, a purse snatching is not a shooting offense and thus the brandishing of a weapon in such a case is a felony. However, the little old lady or the sweet young thing who is under attack could in some cases use a firearm for defense if they thought they were in serious danger. It is a case by case thing and one answer does not fit all cases.


Exactly!


Although, I have to admit that I don't like that purse snatching isn't a shooting offense. In my mind, it's protection of personal property. Though, personally, I'd let the guy go, because I'd hate to live with that shoot on my mind.
