You are not supposed to threaten anyone anywhere. But it shouldn't be a death sentence...

It wasn't until the kid slapped the gun. A man comes out with a gun and tells you to leave his property, you leave.

You would leave. I would leave. But who knows what the heck would a 17 year old drunk kid would do?

But it still doesn't change the fact that you cannot shoot someone who isn't threatening you without facing legal charges. Read the entire thread again. I think you missed the big picture. Mr. White ADMITTED to "accidentally" firing the gun. That is manslaughter -- NOT self-defense.

That is what Mr. White got convicted of and it is immaterial what you or I think...

Not in NY and the punks knew that. That's what gave the little punk the faux balls to slap the gun away in the first place. Even though their intent was to commit a class C felony, they were free to go about their business, because NY requires victims to submit to criminal conspiracy and mob action.
