Idiocy.

[KittenClaws]

He saves a child and his property line is an issue?

No good deed goes unpunished.

My grandson is the same age as that boy. I hope that, if he’s ever endangered, there will be someone like that man around to help!

[BerryDingle]

Gwendolyn Crump said Wednesday that the entire case, including whether the man legally owned the gun he used to kill the dog, is under investigation.

The police reacted correctly and the lawyers have to research a way to rail road this guy.

[Navy Patriot]

The only criminals in DC are public employees.

the boy was also shot in the foot.

I wonder which well-trained individual shot the kid's foot.

[Enterprise]

We’ll see. The political heat will be volcanic of they try to send this guy to prison. Most likely, they will try to get him on a reduced charge of some sort. I hope he stands his ground. At the bare minimum, it demonstrates that without the ability to keep and bear arms, this boy would probably be dead.

The asterisk should have discussed how Feinstein carried a gun while mayor of San Francisco, when nobody else in San Francisco was allowed. Much more telling hypocrisy, in my opinion, than her showboating today.

[Secret Agent Man]

If I was that guy I’d claim to be David Gregory.

We’ll see. The political heat will be volcanic of they try to send this guy to prison.

If he’s the one who shot the kid in the foot, he’s toast. The left will crucify him.

This is the crap that will hopefully help the pro 2A crowd.

[Enterprise]

Any of the dogs were capable of very quickly crushing the boy’s throat. In such a wild melee, the man was in a desperate situation as well as the boy. There could not possibly be time for measured, well aimed shots. But your point is valid. The left would say, “What difference does it make? He shot the boy in the foot.”

"Most likely, they will try to get him on a reduced charge of some sort. I hope he stands his ground. At the bare minimum, it demonstrates that without the ability to keep and bear arms, this boy would probably be dead."

I am willing to bet no matter what he will lose his right to own a gun in the USA. The powers that be will see to it.

Also it will be interesting to see whose bullet/round ended up in the kids foot. And since its not been reported yet I say it was the "well trained" LEO. Which is going to be a severe embarrassment to the "Only Government Trained Lackeys should be allowed guns in the USA" crowd.

When do we move against the tyranny we supposedly own guns to prevent?

[Mad Dawgg]

"When do we move against the tyranny we supposedly own guns to prevent?"

First Tuesday in November.

[Stonewall Jackson]

These are laws passed by liberals, idiocy is a given.

[1010RD]

Nope. This is good news. We need a hero as a martyr. Let’s set up a defense fund. I’m in for $100. Take this case to the American people and all the way to SCOTUS.

[Max in Utah]

I’m in. Anyone else want to step up for our side?

Please ping us if and when a fund is set up.

[Little Ray]

Ditto.
