Someone clue me in here. Is it illegal to shoot over a handicapped parking space?

It was an interesting discussion, but, like many discussions on this forum, it has slid off into the Campfire Septic Tank. I'd say it's in the top 10 all time whizzing matches. Quite an accomplishment, considering some of the others we've had! 7mm

Act like you, but in person.
I don't recall arguing with your partner. but obviously something else has upset you in the CF cyberworld. Upset? Hardly. Just a low tolerance for sanctimonious bloviation.

Seriously?? hr shot HIM THE BACK and you are claiming he might have been stunned? lol. The guy on the ground got his ego (in addition to his ASS) kicked, so he shot him IN THE BACK.
Please back up your claim, upon which rests your entire argument, that the attacker was shot in the back. That's not what I see in the video.

I may have said something bad about a bulldog and got put on ignore ; ] What makes you think I have you on ignore?? Wishful thinking? Don't confuse generally being thought not worth responding to with being on someone's ignore list.

I won't, as long as you promise not to confuse a humorous remark with a serious comment.

Thought at the time that it wasn't that big a deal initially and wondered how it would turn out. I do think if this had happened before Travon or that Brown kid he would have walked. If acquitted there would have been riots and the DA knew that. That guy did something I try not to do when I carry. Situational awareness keeps my last resort right in the concealed holster where I hope it always stays. If some guy pushed me down it most likely would have stayed right where it is. I wonder whether losing his temper had anything to do with it. I guess he will have some time to think it all through.

Honest serious question, When should John Marvin Weed have produced his weapon? When should he have fired a round? He is dead. Good point. No one wants to discuss this.

Because the sad truth is that had he done so, and saved his life, he'd likely be in prison, and there would be many Campfire members saying he deserves it.

I admit I don't know the details of the case you sight. I know he was killed by two young thugs who attacked him, but other than that, not much. Was he even carrying at the time? I just don't see the connection between the two incidents. Weed was sucker punched by two thugs, but Drejka seems to me to be the guy who had a hammer and went around looking for nails to pound. 7mm

He didn't wave his gun around while talking to the scofflaw in the car. It remained in his pocket.

The problem with carrying in today’s world is people simply forgot how to take an occasional azz whippin.
Does this .405 Winchester make my butt look big?

Whether you want to "confront miscreants" or not while carrying is up to you. Personally, when I'm carrying I try to avoid any kind of confrontation over trivial matters (like a parking violation or a guy in traffic cutting me off) that I know might escalate. Because I don't want to be involved with shooting some stupid SOB, even if he deserves it. Juries are a wild card that I don't want to bet my freedom on over such a trivial matter. Not to mention the thought of being "that guy" who killed someone over a parking space that I didn't even need to use.

TRH, are you overlooking that Drejka had four prior incidents reported to police for berating or threatening people who hadn't met his standards driving or parking? In two of these incidents he either threatened to use a gun or pulled the gun. And these are only the incidents that were reported to police. Who knows if or how many others went unreported? The guy sounds like a shooting looking for a place to happen. 7mm

The only way any of that would be relevant would be if the black guy shot him in self-defense, and then asserted that he was aware of his reputation for violence within the context of illegally parking in handicapped spaces.
