I wonder about the thought process that goes into making this kind of decision.
" i need to park and get my hemorhoid cream. right now". " i will just speed things up by threatning someone with my gun", "what harm could come of it", "its not like someone is going to turn me in and I will go to jail" "ok, thats what I will do, pull a gun on a woman over a parking space."
dumb fuck.
I'll be the Devil's advocate here:
What if that bitch was PMS'ing and was actually driving toward the guy?
Whatch the video guys, this is what he stated in the report.
This could be why he was not charged on anything more.
You know damn well that if he just pointed the gun whithout some sort of a good reason this would be a felony menacing charge, no questions asked...
Isn't a car a weapon too?
wow , thats just fantastic , this a**hole is part of the problem .Just another nail in the gun rights coffin . Grrrr as a responsible gun owner id really like to smack the dog s*ht out of that guy .
Yea, Hang him, Screw him, we don't need any proof. The news media is always right. Nobody ever lies.
I agree with bellavite1. There isn't enough information to say who was wrong. If she was trying to assault or threaten him with her car he could be justified. Maybe he should have just stayed in his car.
I hope the truth comes out. This does illustrate the how serious it is to carry. No matter what the end result he is out a bunch of money.
Wait a damn second here..
His statement is that she started DRIVING TOWARDS HIM IN A CAR.. She refutes that... initial report done, and no charges are filed. She then whines to the city council (probably knew one of them) they put it in front of a liberal judge, and suddenly he's the bad guy.
I'm sorry but 'disparity of force' comes into play when someone is in a fucking car driving at you. Disparity of Force is defined as a situation that any reasonable person would conclude places you at an overwhelming disadvantage in your effort to protect yourself against immediate and serious bodily injury.
He drew his weapon, and pointed it at her vehicle. That was enough for her to cease her actions.
Reverse the situation and remove your double standards of this poor defenseless woman driving.
It's a woman out of her car, with a man driving towards her, she pulls her revolver.. Same situation.. yet you'll think it's warranted.
Ever been hit by a car? 3k+ lbs moving even at 5mph isn't a love tap. At 15mph it HURTS like hell.
Cops looked at surveillance video and could find no proof either way to support their claims..it became he said she said. They left it at that, lesson learned. But one party throws a fit, takes it to someone she knows on the council, who heard HER side of the story. Gives it to a judge HE knows.. and wham.. charges. Now the man legally carrying his firearm, who did not even have need to discharge, just present it, is made to look like the BG because a poor woman in a defenseless 3k_ lb blunt object was driving at him for a parking space..![]()
Filter them both out of the gene pool. Arguing over a parking space at King Soopers is about the stupidest thing I can think of getting into an altercation about. Holy crap, one of them might have had to walk an additional 20 friggin yards to get to the door! That's certainly a reason to use deadly force....![]()
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
"The investigator also pointed out the camera quality wasn't good enough to tell if a person is holding anything in their hands that would be considered small."
If she was menacing him with a car that would not be small and even a poor quality video will show this. If she did this, the video will all be needed for his case. If not, he shouldn't own a gun, much less have a concealed permit.
It's hard to say here. Some parking lot cameras are moving back and forth so they can have fewer cameras. If it missed the whole thing he should walk but I'm not so sure about keeping a permit. I have a bum knee and don't move fast. Even for me, in the time it takes to draw and aim, I could between two parked cars.
