When have you come the closest to shooting someone?

That guy is lucky the police showed up I bet.

So is LongArm if this story occurred in Colorado. If I read right this exchange took place with him in his 2nd story window so a lawyer would have a hard time proving he felt his life was in immediate harm's path if he shot the dude for not laying down. Not to start a big ol' debate but it would have been an expensive battle I think at minimum since Colorado doesn't have laws like some other states about protecting personal property with deadly force. Curious what they were charged with since they hadn't even broken anything or broken into anything by the time officers arrived on the scene if I read the story right.

As I read some of these stories (as well as similar threads on other forums) there's been a few where I wonder if the person posting wasn't saved by the fact that they didn't have their firearm on them based on the decisions that they claim they would have made.

Yes this did occur in Colorado and yes I was in my second story room. It could have turned out that way being a shit show with lawyers and what not (which I thank God it didn't come to that). But at the same time unable to determine if the guy had a weapon on his person or if he would have the stones to use it, I didn't feel like taking the chance at the time which is why I commanded him to get on the ground. I know they got arrested for trespassing and attempted burgarly. Had the security camera footage for that.
