  1. I’m 2A all the way, but any danger to the guy was over.

    Some dumb commentators on TV would ask, ‘Well, why didn’t he just shoot the six-pack out of the guy’s hand?’

  2. Only the police are allowed to shoot fleeing criminals……

    and those criminals have to have committed a felony…..

    with an immediate endangerment to the public with limited chances of identification…..if memory serves me right.

  3. Here’s where I kind of agree on more gun laws, dumb asses that shoot at beer thieves. What are we talking, $15? Sure it’s not the value but the act. Gholly, I wish we could outlaw stupidity, we’d eliminate all the liberals and this goof.

    I like the idea of shooting thieves who are fleeing with a portion of one’s livelihood. It should be legal.

    TOTALLY AGREE!

  5. So you come home and see a van backed up to your garage with several guys loading your belongings into it. They see you and split.

    Oh well? Call the police and hope?

    I believe here in Texas you have the right to use deadly force to protect your property. Oh MM it’s just not right to kill someone for stealing your TV.

    I say it’s not right to get to adulthood believing you can steal without consequences. Oh it’s only $15 worth of beer. That is exactly the same bullshit you hear from some thug’s mother when her little angel is killed-“they didn’t have to kill him for just__________” or “he was just trying to get some money for food for his children”

    Don’t do the crime.
