"in this case, for each round fired by the shooter–and that’s where we arrive at the “yes, maybe, and almost certainly not” nature of whether this shooting is lawful."

As I stated on another thread, "reassess after each shot" at which you scoffed. Texas law is clear.

Texas law is clear? Surely you jest. East coast people crack me up.

The one thing nobody, anywhere has ever said about Texas law is that it is “clear”. The Constitution has 85,397 words and 517 Amendments. The US Constitution has 4440 and 27. Nobody has ever counted the sheer volume of the entire canon of Texas Legal codes, but Texas has established size and weight limits for vehicles and loads moving with or without an oversize and/or overweight permit on Texas roadways. You would need an oversize permit if you wanted to move it by truck.

In the silly even that someone decides to prosecute him, his defense fund will overflow, and the jury will free him after 15 minutes.

He will never see the inside of a jail.

yeah.. ok. You know.

Look online and check out gun fights like ASP or other self defense channels. What exactly are you going to reassess after the first shot... help me out here...

What are you assessing after the “each shot”. How long do you have between shots to “assess”?

I’m not scoffing. I’m laughing, well actually smirking.

So if I or any man ran up and punched you in the face shoved your wife or daughter to the ground pulled out a gun and ran around the scene back and forth then... back towards your family... you’re going to shoot once, reassess and then repeat target acquisition, pull of a round aaaaaannnndddd then pause to reassess.

I think that would be really neat to see.... sad but it would be very instructive.

Do an analysis of this one and tell me how unnecessary shooting 10 rounds at a “retreating perp”. ..

https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/multiple-victims-reported-in-shooting-at-greenwood-park-mall/531-df15bbf5-8eca-4220-b149-7de4735fbe37

Elisjsha Dicken, an armed bystander, fired on the shooter from 40 yards away, according to police. Within 15 seconds from when the shooting began, Dicken fired 10 rounds hitting the shooter as the shooter tried to retreat into the bathroom but collapsed and died.

you would have fired one round, reassessed, fired another... reassess... until the perp mag dumped on you or killed a bunch of others. You and NOBODY knows how many weapons someone has or if there are others involved... like the good samaritan in Walmart that tried to ambush a shooter but didn’t see the perps girlfriend/wife who came up and shot him. just like that.... bang.

you have no idea what a rapid descent to death can occur in any fight/attack/robbery.... and while you are assessing and reassessing.... your clock is ticking and someone is going to die. Notice the guy in the scooter in this video.... he’s assessing and decides.... deuces, I’m out.
