[quote mattkime]i spent some time walking through the british countryside and many of their public walking trails pass through privately owned property, even very close to homes.
Wow, are you unable to distinguish the difference between someone walking the well worn path and someone rummaging around in an enclosed structure filled with valuable possessions?
Do I think she should have discharged her weapon? No. But that is because she exercised poor judgment in not acting like a responsible gun owner. For most gun owners ,in most situations; there is one proper way to shoot a person and that is to kill. Some professionals may be taught differently, I don't really know. But she used her gun not to protect her life, but to discourage someone from leaving her property. Had she really been threatened, then she should not have taken away the perp's most effective means for getting off her property and away from her. If you aren't willing to kill someone who is an imminent threat, then don't shoot a gun in self defense.
Hot or Not Hot?
