A glaring issue popped into my head when I woke up this morning about this post from last night.
In Kommiecticut, there is no Florida style Castle Doctrine. The only possible exception is inside your own home, and even then law enforcement would rather you still "retreat" instead of defending yourself, but your chances of prosecution are slim. In this incident, the victim did what cops and gun-grabbing legislators always say you should do, run away. Don't fight. Give them what they want. The guy got shot in the hip, which LEO and the hoplophobes will say is a good thing because everyone is still alive. Well, do you know how devastating and life altering any hip injury can be, never mind it being a gun shot? For all anyone knows, that victim may never walk again. I say "FUCK THAT SHIT!" Run up on me and my gun is out of the holster. Trip my flight or fight response and it is up with my booger hook on the bang switch. Don't properly process my muzzle in your direction in that instant and the lead pills fly.
I'll stick with kill them before they kill me, thanks. I have the Ultimate Plan from CCWSafe, so I don't have to second guess or delay a deadly force decision because I could face financial ruin. I highly recommend them and if you are a veteran, ask for the veteran discount when you sign up.
