burglary, citizen warning shot?

[Doc45]

DPD had a chase this afternoon of some burglary suspects. They hit a home in SE Denver, neighbors saw them go into the house and then climb out a window when the neighbors knocked on the door. One neighbor chased them on foot, pumped a round into the ground.

Bad guys got into a white Lexus, got on I-25 being chased by DPD, side swiped two cars, got off at University, drove around like idiots until they were pitted at Evans between Adams and Steele. 4 characters taken in to custody.

Hmm.

Just wanna slap people that shoot warning shots. If you have the justification to discharge your weapon, you have the justification to put those rounds into the body of the badguy. If you don't have the justification to put the rounds into the body of the badguy you DO NOT have the justification to discharge your weapon. It's that simple.

Thankfully nobody innocent got hurt.

[Irving]

Maybe the neighbor is just not practiced at shooting while moving [/sarcasm]


The warning shot while chasing someone is always funny in retrospect. If you're chasing someone, and you let off a round, do you really expect them to stop?

[Great-Kazoo]

Discharging a firearm is Discharging a firearm, Unless they were in fear for their life. Some DA wanting to make a name for them self might press charges.
. Not sure how it works done your area. Up here, UNLESS i'm in fear for my life, not only an i not discharging a firearm. I'm not chasing anyone anywhere with a gun in my hand.

ESPECIALLY WITH LE'S IN PURSUIT.

Let me translate this for our more progressive members:

Some unfortunate individuals who have been oppressed and less privileged than many in the US were in search of some of the creature comforts that everyone deserves. They were profiled by the jackbooted thugs of the Denver Gestapo and were pursued for persecution. Some right winger, ideologues living in the neighborhood spotted the unfortunates as they sought asylum in a nearby building but were driven out when the redneck took careful aim and fired a full auto burst from their assault rifle into the ground. The underprivileged were forced to flee the neighborhood in a vehicle they had purchased through their hard earned livelihood in the herbal medicinal business while the Denver Gestapo hounded them across the public thoroughfare endangering innocent civilians in our fair city. Finally the brutal Denver uniformed death squad rammed their heavily armed vehicle into the poor miscreants causing them mental anguish. The Stormtroopers then beat the tragic group of youth before tossing them into a paddy wagon for a joy ride to the station where unspeakable things were done to them all in the so called name of justice.

I am sure there will be a kangaroo court where these poor citizens will be unjustly thrown into some despicable and inhumane hole where terrible things will be done to them.

Be safe.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

Thank you Dennis.

I bet the neighbor gets the brunt of the Law. Now, if he had used a double barreled shot gun and pointed that thing in the air......

The true definition of somebody going full libtard.

Good lord.

The burglars were pretty brazen...but the warning shot makes my blood go cold. I echo the sentiment that it's lucky nobody was hurt. Someone clearly watches too much TV or something.

[KevDen2005]

Didn't see if this was already covered....maybe an ND and the person claimed it was a warning shot.

Well then the guy's a real idiot. If I were in his position I'd be declaring it was an ND and not a warning shot. Supposedly he has a permit, not that it matters one way or the other. All the bad guys claimed they felt ill and wanted to go to the hospital-hahaha bet they learned that from their buddies or in previous visits to the grey bar motel.

I really can't decide what would be more dumb...intentionally firing a warning shot or unintentionally firing a negligent round.

Unfortunately, some forum members don't see an issue with it.

Never go full Libtard

Nailed it.

[ChadAmberg]

About the only time the warning shot is acceptable, according to the TV, is when you're lighting your cigar while giving your Dirty Harry style speech, and the criminal interrupts you by trying to get away before you're done talking.

Remember, everyone has a right to their own opinion, regardless of whether you think it is right or wrong.

Every bullet fired in public has a lawyer attached.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Ammo's too expensive for warning shots.

[Doc45]

So here's more good news: about a month or so ago the knucklehead who fired off the round also had a gun stolen from his vehicle. Some people's children.

That's weird, I work the light rail in that area and didn't hear anything about this.

But what if you're always right?

Get married, that'll take care of it...

This is my though too......

Several members here could be in that boat, just gotta have that "truck gun".
