[DGU] The 'Defensive Gun Use' Thread

[actaeon277]

I'm not saying your wrong though.
We should, and are, held accountable for bullets fired.

So much fail.

Police took gun.
News babe asks how can we get rid of guns.
Police are going to fix problem.

Good stuff.

Clerk had good shoot.
Clerk is going to get another gun.

Bet he reconsiders off body carry. Hope that if he doesn't he at least stashes it in some other location as now anyone can see he plans.

I like how the reporter said he wouldn't even wait a day to get the gun back... wow they move fast there. I would guess back in a year would be surprising.

Also, even though I don't smoke.... Newports for $9.00? Wow

If you go by that, everyone will have to turn in their guns.
The hit rate in defensive situations suck, even for police.

Probably training and practice issues for both. I remember seeing a cautionary poster in a NY Sheriffs office showing a NY State motorcycle cop laying gunned down in the isle of a convenience store where he got the drop on some robbers but couldn't figure out how to get the safety off his new issue weapon.

Everybody that gets assaulted and defends themselves in Brazil is an off duty police officer, just watch ASP.

Everyone else is free game.

Watch your ASP.

As I understand the story, Billy Cowart, Ford worker, union member, and licensed to carry a handgun, was attacked in the parking lot of the union local and shot two men in the legs. Both men were union members and I believe in leadership positions.

Police responded to the event as a shooter in the parking lot. He was arrested and faced several charges including attempted murder. Ford fired him and the union turn their back on him.

His trial was disrupted when the judge in the case faced his own charges for dropping a handgun in the lobby of the Chicago courthouse, which I have previously posted about on INGO.

A second judge was brought in, and Mr. Cowart pleaded self-defense and was found not guilty of all charges. (I believe it was a bench trial). There was a video of the incident showing him being attacked.

He then tried to get his job back and ended up in arbitration against Ford and the union. He was just reinstated in his job with one year of backpay. I believe the event occurred three years ago, and he exhausted all his savings paying for legal work.

Who, the would-be thief?

This really was a heart-warming story. But, this one won't count to the antis, because the bad guy survived the DGU.

What is an "intrusion suspect"?

Also, I'm thankful for Indiana Castle doctrine, under which the mere presence of the intruder in the home is enough to establish mortal fear, justifying the use of deadly force in self-defense. Apparently in California, the 77-year-old woman had to wait until the "intrusion suspect" inquired whether her husband was home and then made a move toward her, before she could establish mortal fear, justifying the use of deadly force in self-defense.

A DGU does not always require prior gun ownership. Occasionally, the bad guys are stupid enough to leave THEIR gun in a place where you can conveniently pick it up and shoot them with it.

FYI- This is from 2010, but it is true. Funny that it never comes up in any discussions about arming adults in school.
