Alright guys help me out with this one

[Robert James]

I live in philly, where we have the stand your ground law freshly passed. Hypothetical situation here, I am standing on the train platform and a man sticks some ugly burner he picked up from some crackhead in my face and demands my loot. I say "please don't shoot me sir" blah blah blah, I hand him my wallet and watch and let him walk away or run whatever. What he doesn't know is that I'm packing a remington .45 in a back belt holster and I whip that puppy out and put three in his spinal cord (barring I'm that lucky). Now the question is, how will my self defense hold up in court?

I have gone over the whole robbing situation time and time again and this seems to be the best course of action the only problem would be legal issues. I get it I'm shooting him in his back but he threatened me with a fire arm. Would it make a difference if i got him to turn around with just enough time to pop his melon? Please give me some feedback fellas.

I'm not a lawyer but taking I'll take a shot, pun intended. No, it will not hold up in court. Once he has turned and started to leave, he is no longer a threat and you have no reasonable fear for your life. You make him turn around and you become the party that is a threat. Your weapon should be used for self-defense, not revenge or retribution for a wrong done to you.

You would be in jail for a long time. The threat was over and you murdered him by shooting him in the back.

You should leave your gun at home because based on your question, you're obviously not responsible enough to carry it.

Rob has a good point.

I'll add another; what were you doing that made you fail to notice a guy getting within your comfort zone AND with an object in his hand?

If you're going to carry than I suggest you be on top of your game when it comes to "situational awareness". Notice what is unfolding around you before a scenario plays out.

You want to shoot a guy in the back for $20? You carry a throw away wallet for this purpose?

While you are planning holdup issues, you should also be planning on how are you going to support your wife and family while in prison.

Hey now guys it's just a hypothetical situation, honestly I'm fine with being robbed by some social parasite.

Let's all stop hypothetically feeding the hypothetical troll.

You can say that again !!

I asked a CC question on my first(and last)post and had my ass stomped into the ground. I will never ask for advice from this forum and I suggest you do the same.
