    Interesting read that just makes you shake your head. 3 out of the 4 real life scenarios were not a valid use of lethal force for self-defense, in my opinion.

    Thoughts?

    To me the saddest thing in the first story is the guy didn't already have one in the pipe, as to if it's justified or not, that's up to LEOs and courts. Obviously he was cleared, just more anti-gun people trying to bring gun owners & people who value their lives down.

    Isn't it interesting that only the apparent unjustified self defense shootings seem to get national attention? It seems to me that justified self defense scenarios rarely make national headlines...but maybe it's just me.
