guys if you're so gung-ho into knowing the law read into the sherrifs website about gun controll and crimes. it willl explain the 10-20-life thing to you, then you'll go "huh?,....i didn't know thats how it was?". morally, yes, you prolly would want to ace the dude before dude got you. BUT, morals aren't laws, and if you say cops are dicks when they pull you over and give you a ticket for your loud exhaust, how big of dicks are they when they kill someone w/o following their laws? did anyone read the article in the paper about the "thugs in tampa scaring the elderly"? they even said it in there that they overstep and understep drawn lines of law because of a morality conflict. they admitted to it. if dude was really threatening others with the peice, take him in. if he attempted to kill some innocent person, take him down by anymeans necessary. i didn't see anyone in the vid besides him and the police.
