CCW'er Defends Himself at Walmart (N Las Vegas)

i have been following this discussion since it started and how it has deteriorated. i had checked with a judge,a prosecutor,a crimminal defence lawyer,some leo i know,and of course read the relevent state laws pertaining to this subject. all of these agreed i would be within my rights to use my firearm in my state. and i realize that some states laws are different. yet when i posted this information one person as much as called me a liar. this one person also made the claim that i was the reason they were trying to take peoples guns away. i think it was post 14 but not sure,(if i have the wrong post number my apologies). i am not a hot-head and can assure you i do my best NOT to give the gun-grabbers further reason to try to seize anybodys guns. i have always tried to be law-abiding. why else would i check with those who should know? for anybody to suggest that all these people i asked are wrong is ludicrous. i realize that we will disagree at times but name-calling and unfounded accusations are not the way to do it. if you want to believe that deadly force is illegal thats your priviledge. i and most others on this thread believe otherwise and it is obvious that some of them are like me and have checked into the law where they live. please put the name calling and unfounded accusations where they belong that is in the garbage. a good measure of common sense is knowing when it is time to "agree to disagree" and move on. unfortunatly some people are trying to stir things up and like an earlier post i smell a troll.
 
my apologies to lowjiber. it was not your post(14) but post number 42 that i was refering to in my last post. i was not refering to you and did not mean any offence to you and im sorry. after going back and reading your post i think we are on the same side.
 
FWIW, I do from time to time watch UFC matches. I have seen at least 100 matches, honestly that number seems to be kinda low and it probably is. In all of those matches I have only ONCE seen a fighter get from the bottom position of a top mount back to his feet.

A trained UFC fighter is about 50-50 when in the bottom position of a full guard. An untrained person is a lot less well off in said position. On the street, if you are on the ground and can get a guard against an opponent on top of you, assuming you even know what that is, you ARE in imminant danger of grave bodily harm. On the street you don't have Herb Dean to stop the fight if things go baddly.

+ 1 these guys are trained professional fighters, and granted they are facing other professionals. The only reason I haven't been stomped more than once is because i've always had plenty of backup, 1 goes down you have 3-4 more to deal with before you can effectively stomp the one. Off duty and on the street I highly doubt you'll have any backup to prevent your skull from becoming one with the concrete.
 
One more thing to look at is when the Cops are fighting a single BG on drugs it takes four or more Cops the size of Line Backers to handle the situation. My back up is a 357 Mag and I fully intend to use it for such.

your right

Why do I have to get up and run away? You must live in a "you have to retreat" state. I do not. The law gives me the right to stand my ground. If I have a right to be there, I don't have to leave unless I want to. The attacker may leave in a manner that may not include breathing. I hope it never comes to it but you have to be prepared.

the law says i do have to retreat if i can.i read a magazine recently about a man shooting someone in defence spending 2years in jail before trail then haveing the case thrown out. i wonder, does he still have a job, a house, a family. i bet he wishes he would have retreated .

"Assailed person has no duty to retreat, he may stand his ground and defend himself". Is what my state says. Sorry you live in a state where the criminal dictates the situation. Get hold of your representatives and get that changed.

As far as "spending 2 years in jail" i've heard of global warming, flying pigs, and that elvis is still alive. As well all know, if its printed its true.

With a good lawyer, he will make the police pay. Does he still have the things you mentioned, I don't know. That is part of the cost the lawyer will try to get. Problem is, he will never get those two years back.

In Florida:
776.08 Forcible felony.
"Forcible felony" means treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.

Which is grounds for use of deadly force.
776.012 Use of force in defense of person.
A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or

(2) Under those circumstances permitted pursuant to s. 776.013.

776.013 Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.—


776.031 Use of force in defense of others.
A person is justified in the use of force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on, or other tortious or criminal interference with, either real property other than a dwelling or personal property, lawfully in his or her possession or in the possession of another who is a member of his or her immediate family or household or of a person whose property he or she has a legal duty to protect. However, the person is justified in the use of deadly force only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person does not have a duty to retreat if the person is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

Florida laws spell it out but it still does happen that it gets taken to court on occasion. Where it usually ends up getting thrown out as justified.

would just being thrrow to the ground make you feel that your life is in danger.i hope you dont disagree i might just get banned

That wouldn't be what would set off the use. The fact that robbery is a forcible felony would. I would suspect anyone who comes out of the blue and attacks of one of several things: 1.) Robbery attempt, 2.) assualt with intent to commit bodily harm, 3.) any other forcible felony. But it all depends on where and who you are with. And who the attacker is with.
 
does a strong arm robbery entitle a ccw person to shoot. is a bg'S life worth 20$. please dont add kicking in the head jumping on your chest. lets keep it knocked to the ground. as a ccw person not a police officer.a police officer can respond diffrently. please respond

We've already established that for the purpose of this thread you've been knocked to the ground by a criminal who is continuing the attack

if you want to drop it dont come back,also i dont beleive you talked to those ppl and read all that stuff. your the reason why they want to take guns away from us

in post 89 this person says he has not called anyone a name or disrespected anone. in this quote i am as much as called a liar and without any valid evidence accused of being the reason they want to take our guns away. if the language used here isnt being disrespectfull what is? i honestly do not mind it when people dissagree with me but lets keep it civil. oh and i try very hard to be safe and legal with my firearm so as not to give the gun-grabbers cause. i can even see where discussing this can cause all of us to make sure we are legal in our own state. and i did check with all those people to make sure i would be legal to use deadly force. i would be. if you disagree with me thats fine with me. again i say lets be civil and agree to disagree.
 
Man, this site sure does attract its share of trolls, that's for sure. Get rid of one and two come to take it's place. Kinda like cockroaches.

BTW, knock me to the ground and you get shot. What the hell are you carrying a weapon for if you're not gonna use it when you're assaulted? Ho-hum...
