Is this the kind of thing biden-buddy was talking about? Of course he “suggested” murders were/would be up....does biden-buddy lump justifiable homicide in self defense with actual murder?
Guy’s an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, dipped in ...... government stuff

“the perp turned the gun in his direction. “
Of course that's what happened. Let's hope the good guy realizes that.

The good Sammy was released from custody.
not to say they won’t charge him later, but as of now, he’s free.

I don’t care how or where he shot him. He walks if I’m on the jury.

Why we need “open season doctine”.
Pull a gun to rob someone, and it is now open season on them.

From what I have heard on the local radio They kept him overnight for questioning and released him this morning. They have not filed any charges yet.

from link in #32. . .
Andrew Rothman, a Twin Cities firearms trainer and vice president of the Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance, said Friday afternoon that if the events unfolded as the armed citizen described, “the permit holder acted appropriately. Chasing the mugger to recover the purse or to effect a citizen’s arrest is permitted by law.”
And, Rothman continued, if the suspect “then escalated by pointing and/or shooting at the good Samaritan, the good Samaritan would have been completely justified in shooting.”

The robber certainly is a threat to the next little old lady he comes upon...Thats the way I would put it to a jury if I was the heros lawyer...
To: deks; WOBBLY BOB
I like Andy...he’s a real sharp guy. But, this is MN and this Good Samaritan is screwed.

"if he can convince the cops that the perp turned the gun in his direction. He might be okay" The cops are not relevant and needn't be convinced nor spoken to. The issue is if his lawyer can convince the prosecutor or if not then the jury.

I actually don’t know much about the legal system, but I thought cops initially make the decision about whether or not to arrest, and if they don’t, the chances of being charged later just seem lessened, unless they treat it as a homicide to be investigated. Do cops have any frontline authority in how such a matter is classified (self-defense as opposed to murder) or do all such matters by-pass them and go directly to someone higher, like the D.A.?

Depends on the jurisdiction. In North Dakota, you can intervene using lethal force on behalf of another who is in immediate danger of serious bodily injury or death and unable to defend themselves.
