As for the brandishing & threatening - since the OP called the police and stated his actions I'd say he is OK since they didn't really seem to care
the cops did not care because there was not a victim. I am not saying there was not a crime because there was. but is the guy at the door going to go court i dont think so. But i agree he should have stayed IN the house.
So did you read this entire thread and thought it was a good idea to reactivate it? How did you find it?
Wrong. In fact, the common 'justification' for defending oneself is "I felt my life was in danger." That, or someone in your purview."Feeling" threatened and actually being threatened are two very, very different scenarios.
Wrong. As the specific person under the purview of the gun-holding defender may not realize their life is in danger, but the gun-holder does.Even if the OP thought his girlfriend was threatened, she apparently did not, so if he draws down on the guy.
Feeble attempt at sarcasm aside, ironically enough, just several years ago in Munster, IN., a man was murdered by a hitman posing as a FedEx delivery man.... When a man pulled into my driveway in what appeared to be a FedEx truck... I drew my .45 ACP Smith & Wesson M&P on his chest and shouted, "STOP RIGHT THERE YOU SCUMBAG HITMAN!"... I think that I just saved my own life.
Except, the law is not "black and white". It is only illegal IF it is not justifiable.Except, I CAN make an absolute statement that "pointing a firearm" at another person is ILLEGAL!
And, the LAW IS black and white!
