"...grabbing a gun held by someone else is rarely a good idea."
Don’t know how the legalities will shake out but grabbing a gun held by someone else is rarely a good idea.
“Whom the gods would destroy they first make angry.”
The photo alone tells the story.
Look at the difference in size of the two men. Look at the dead man’s stance, towering over the guy and crowding his personal space.
Clearly a bully with a temper.
And on the other guy’s porch.
I would have shot him.
An immediate threat, disparity of force
And from the photo shown, very difficult to retreat into the house.
"...grabbing a gun held by someone else is rarely a good idea."
He didn’t. Have a hold of it when he shot him...
I agree grabbing the gun of a scared smaller man is foolish
That whole thing was completely unnecessary
Anger over his wife jacking him over visitation
And a scared man
Some cold ass people
Truly
I know Freepers love this shit...
Lots of scared people ..old people and women on this forum
Note to self
Never grand their gun..lol
“Don’t know how the legalities will shake out but grabbing a gun held by someone else is rarely a good idea.”
He didn’t try to grab the gun till after the shooter fired it at his feet. Prior to that, talk is cheap. The shooter may have a property situation but it’s a long way from having the shot man threatening to take the woman to court and the man shooting him when he was still on the porch, and not moving toward the shooter at the time of the shot, whether one or two as different videos display. And the shot man didn’t grab him until after he fired at his feet and then threw him away from him. So which one was warding off the threat? Castle doctrine doesn’t work that way in any state I know of.
At the time he shot the man, the shooter was not under threat by the positions of the bodies being apart and not charging the shooter as he was still in the same location on the porch. Could get interesting. I can almost be sure there will be a wrongful death suite if it doesn’t go criminal.

This could darn near be argued as a premeditated murder. Not saying either guy was right. Bad situation for both involved. Especially the dead one.
