if someone is beating you up and you have a gun,do you have a right to shoot them?

[New England]

yes.

but not if you're the ****** who started the fight.


he started a fight with you , you are losing..... you shoot him = self defense

you started a fight , you started to lose..... you shoot him = manslaughter at minimum

that will depend entirely on the state you are in.

probably.

but that's how i see it.

for me , you start something..... don't start claiming self defense later.

[prime tyme]

But to answer your question, if you started attacking me and I had a gun, best believe I'm going to put you away.

GotD*mnit dj Pepe I like your answer! A+

If it's a situation where your life really is in danger, just shoot the mother****er in the kneecaps. I guarantee you he won't be coming at you after that, and since it's below the waist, you can't catch trumped up charges about intent, either.

and then they'll ask you "why you shot him in the knee?"

then you'll reply , "because i feared for my life."

then they'll ask , "you feared for your life but instead of shooting him in the chest , you had the time to intentionally just wound him?"

then they'll explain to the jury how a person who truly feared for his life would just shoot.

you had the presence of mind to pick where you wanted to shoot him and had actually took the time to accurately hit him where you wanted to shoot him.

then you're fucked.

true but at least it wouldn't be murder.

[OG Ballhog]

true but at least it wouldn't be murder.

it wouldn't be murder at all if it was self defense.

someone comes at him , he shoots him in the chest. it's self defense.

now he try to get cute and do ****** thing like kneecapping or whatever he's seen in the movies.

they can try to twist stuff around.


besides if the guy is coming at you , you're not gonna shoot him in the knees or legs or whatever.

no one thinks like that.

[ßringer]

That's why you say you just shot randomly. Derp.

Anybody that admits to actual intent in a situation like that where the deck is stacked against them is a ****ing ******.

just shoot him.

don't worry about kneecapping or whatever ****** **** you see in the movies.

[ßringer]

It doesn't even matter where you shoot them, so long as it's not the chest. Sorry, but I don't think anybody is going to be still intent on coming at you when you put a slug in their flesh. They're going to panic and get the **** out of there in fear of being shot again.
