He is a former Marine who was a member of the helicopter detail that transported Presidents Kennedy and Johnson...

I have personally known 2 people who were shot and killed in a robbery like this - after they complied and gave the robber their money. I live across the lake from New Orleans, out in the woods, and it's pretty quiet over here, but when i go into the city i'm usually armed. I wouldn't kill someone over material goods of any kind (not to say that i wouldn't hurt them), but if someone pulls a gun on me, i consider my life in danger and will kill them in a heartbeat. I've never killed anyone as a civilian, but have been in situations a number of times where my having a gun prevented violence from occurring. I wish we were as civilized as the Brits over here, but we're not, and most of the bad guys over here have guns - shall we let them have the advantage there?

Thank God there are still people like him willing to use the rights given to him by the constitution. Don't think that the next group of flunkies in that area wanting to rob someplace won't be thinking of the consequence that befell the two robbers.
First of all, i find meggy to be an extremely intelligent young lady. The fact that she made an ignorant statement does not change my opinion of her - i've made a few myself. Secondly, i make a distinction between murder and self defense - silly me. Threatened with a knife? You mean like the terrorists on the planes with boxcutters? If they had had some southern boys on those planes, who would have killed them with their own boxcutters, would that have been murder? Someone pulled a knife on me once in the lower part of the French Quarter, and he abruptly changed his mind when i pulled my 9mm. If he had not, i would have killed him - would that make me a murderer? As far as liberty and freedom go, how does my having to go armed compromise such? Were the early Americans not free because they carried weapons? And finally, my father taught me how to fire a rifle and a pistol when i was 6 years old * * listens to the sharp gasps from the liberals * *, and i went through the NRA safety course when i was 12. I served with 10th Special Forces 68-70, and i don't foresee my shooting anyone by accident anytime soon.Bertros Bertros wrote:Hmm made me think a little there b.k. I see your plight but I don't think meggy is being ignorant. He killed two men; that is murder. When you start to blur the lines, as this case is, you're on a slippery slope. Is it acceptable to shoot dead someone who threatens you with a knife? What if the guns were replicas and there was no 'real' threat to your life?
Its hard to explain how incomprehensible it is to me that you carry a gun when you go to town. Are you not scared of killing someone by accident? Its far from a land of liberty and freedom if you can't go to the shops without getting tooled up.

why ty diddle.
Luns - is some guy's wallet more valuable than a man's life? Bertros is right, it's a slippery slope.
Without Grandpaw's heroics the outcome might have been a few lost dollars and a card-cancelling phone call or two, hopefully followed by arrests and jail time for the crims. Instead there are two dead young men.
