I'd not shoot anyone serving a search warrant on my home. But I'd sure nuff have smoked some dude trying to rob me at gunpoint.
Over two D-cell batteries...in the wake of a natural disaster?
In the scenario given, the old man was the one pulling a gun over two batteries. I'd have shot him because he pulled a ".44 magnum" on me. It's a pretty simple distinction to make.
How would you react if it was your kid working the counter and somebody pulled a gun on them because they didn't like the prices? It'd take me just a quick minute to track that guy down and set his house on fire.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I don't always agree with everything you say, but I'm liking you more and more.
