[DGU] The 'Defensive Gun Use' Thread

[Alamo]

San Antonio Texas

Does this count?

Three scholarship candidates are scouting cars to steal in a residential neighborhood. Father and son confront them, the candidates jump in their own car and flee. Just for good measure one of the candidates fires two rounds presumably at father & son but instead shooting the candidates’ getaway driver in the neck.

Guess it wasn’t too bad because the driver ended up in juvenile detention shortly there after.

Hawaii

Long running feud between families. One family runs its property as a unlicensed entertainment venue, renting out for parties and concerts, pissing off the rest of the neighborhood, especially the family next door. Noise, drunkeness, speeding in streets, city ignores complaints, party-family-husband threatens neighbors over complaints.

One night next-door neighbor complains to party neighbor about speeding by partygoers. A little while later party neighbor drives a frontend loader with four 55gal drums of fuel in the bucket over the vehicles in driveway and into front of nextdoor neighbor’s house. Party neighbor dismounts with unregistered (this is Hawaii) and shoots five people, killing three, and also shoots fuel barrels which did not ignite.

Nextdoor neighbor gets his registered (this is Hawaii) handgun, which he bought specifically because of part neighbor’s threats, and kills party neighbor.

Cops arrest nextdoor neighbor on suspicion of 2nd degree murder, hold him in jail for a day. Prosecutor eventually declines to charge, citing self-defense.

Well, the won’t-be-victim came thru alive and unrobbed, so that’s a happy ending. And he gets to skip a homicide investigation.

Good shoot or bad?
DA is charging the victim of the assault.

The DA

It's in MA. Of course the DA is charging the victim. It's what they do.

Good shoot? Gonna be hard to prove he was in fear of his life with other dudes stomping the assailant's face. Not saying he wasn't justified. Just gonna be hard to prove with that video out there.

Detroit Michigan

The DGU that should have been.

Woman’s ex-boyfriend wants to get back together, she said no. He goes full retard stalker mode.

In June he assaults her in public. Last month he tricks her into answering door at her apartment, she manages to get back inside. Day later he hides in trunk of her car and pops up in the back seat while she’s driving. She gets away again somehow.

Last Friday he kidnapped her, took her to his house 60 miles away, handcuffs, eyes taped shut, and rapes her. Saturday police rescued her and arrested him.

How did police know she was in trouble? She failed to show up for her Concealed Pistol License class on Sat morning. Apparently someone put 2+2 together and called cops.

"He dragged her to his car, stuffed her in the back; you could see in the video he handcuffed her, he had the child locks on, and he put tape over her eyes," said DPD's Charles Fitzgerald.

I believe that everyone should get some kind of training in the uses of firearms, but the timing was way off on this because she had to wait for state mandated training before she could protect herself.

And this is why laws requiring such are both an unconstitutional infringement as well as a moral affront to free citizens.

To put it in terms the Commies can understand; such laws need repealed, for if it saves just one life it is worth it.
