Many years ago I knew a badly crippled retired ex CHP officer that changed his career to a locksmith. He was in a standoff with a guy who had a shotgun and the guy shot his feet that he could see under his patrol car! That must have stung!


And it has exactly what to do with the context of an UNARMED man begging to be killed by a cop?

Seems to me he might have waited a little too long to see if the perp wanted to call it off too???

BTW, I can see NO connection with this incident with RBKA, it's just not there.

The connection is simply: Do we shoot this mentally disturbed suspect on a presumption of guilt / possibility of a weapon or do we presume innocence and take a tactical decision based upon visible reality?
It's apparent that your definition of RKBA is far different than mine and I'm pretty liberal about extending RKBA.

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.

Because I can!
