Escalation of the situation by refusal to leave is not the same thing as escalating with a firearm. Walking inside to grab a gun and come back out was a mistake, plain and simple. Cops should have been called and let them sort it out. By dragging a gun into the situation, Carruth turned a verbal altercation where no violence was threatened into an armed conflict. Read should have left, Carruth should have never grabbed a gun. And Carruth deserves every charge he gets for being a [bleep] moron, and for making gun owners look like unhinged [bleep] who are just hankering to kill someone.
Your bold goes against his GOD GIVEN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT "TO BEAR ARMS".
HE HAS THE LEGAL RIGHT TO OBTAIN A GUN ANYTIME HE DAMN WELL PLEASES ON PROPERTY HE IS PERMITTED ON.
Fer cryin’ out loud, go get a Snickers bar.
“Having a gun”, and “pulling it out in a verbal argument, and firing shots”, is two different things.
Pull out a gun when your drunk cousin won’t leave at Thanksgiving, and see how that goes...
In fact, that’s a good analogy, here. If all your cousin is doing is yelling and screaming, would you or would you not go and get a PC9 carbine and threaten his life???
