Also since I'm in Florida for vacation I brushed up on the cc laws and establishments that serve alcohol are a big no no in the first place. Then he was clearly out of danger and decided to go back into it and go in shooting. IMO he put himself in prison.
To quote another member, "no fucks given"!
he is at fault, he won the prize he was looking for
A very similar thing happened to a Fort Hood Soldier. This dumb ass got into an altercation at an on post party, wen home to get his gun, returned and killed a dude. He also claimed self defense. I am not sure of the final outcome of the case.

Kate Dickinson told the Long Island Newsday, her brother was killed after Wessel allegedly argued with him, returned to the party with a weapon and shot Dickinson.
Not a fan either of "submitting myself to a needless beating". I don't normally look for trouble, in fact I'll walk away from a situation if I feel in any way I had a hand in instigating it. However, sometimes trouble comes looking for you, and you should not have to submit to a beat down just cuz. If another came looking for trouble, and I don't have a way out of it, then he got what he wanted. This case, in florida, the guy would have been guilty here at least. He wasn't in fear for his life, as he had a reasonable way to avoid the danger, but he chose to ignore it. He either had a case of the stupids, case of the drunks, or case of the movie heroes.
I'm thinking of different scenarios.
Lets assume he had the gun in the first place and was in the bar, was going to leave, and got punched. I'd still say not a valid shoot, not for a single punch.
Only if he had the gun in the first place (no return to the bar) and they were beating on him repeatedly would I vote not guilty based on the small amount of info given in a newspaper writeup.
I would note that all three of those stories involve firing warning shots, which is a pretty big no-no in every situation and location I can think of.Quote:
