Byrd could have fired a warning shot

You don't fire warning shots. You shoot to stop a threat which puts you reasonably in fear of death or grave bodily harm. Since this feces-avian could not have been reasonably in fear of death or grave bodily harm, he had not justification to shoot at all.

This is basic deadly force and self defense law. Come on down to WV or VA and take a "concealed carry" class. It won't help you defend yourself in the Glorious Peoples' Democratic Republic of Maryland, but it will give you a good understanding of the law.

Good point but he picked murder and the left was OK with it.

(Have taken several classes at the NRA in No. VA.)

In Florida the law was (and still probably effectively is) an armed civilian has a duty to retreat instead of shoot.

How many gun battles you been in just regular life where you pulled your firearm whether long or side

Combat is a different animal than civilian threats and you know that

Let me see

A white woman sticks her head in A window in a door and your first impulse is to feel threatened for your life and shoot her?

What’s your posting history on trump

Seeing a pattern here maybe not you and I apologize in advance for that

You do not have to kill everyone who threatens you if you’re armed

That’s a major canard on this forum btw

Hell I’d need a graveyard for the corpses

My sidearm has thwarted a number of threats without even requiring shots fired in my 65 years

“You don’t fire warning shots. “

Wouldn’t that guideline apply only if lives were in danger by an attacker?

The shooter is being protected in order to protect the storyline that the whole thing was Trump’s fault.

Took NRA classes in Virginia.

Not into the Glorious Peoples’ Democratic Republic of Maryland.

AT ALL!
