This one's not the easiest to figure out. The bullet hit the truck near the other man's head. Yet He claims He wasn't trying to kill or injure. So He's either a really good shot, or lucky as hell. Showing a gun is a valid form of self defense as are warning shots. He was in a car and the other man was in a pickup truck, so he had to be aiming at an upward angle. We all know shooting into the air is a really stupid thing to do, negligent in fact. I agree that the Jury should have been given the self defense instruction. But I think there's more to the whole matter that needs clarification.

I'm personally against warning shots, but agree that it should be a sign of self defense to a jury.

I personally feel many laws are set up for people to be killed and with the current climate I would never fire a warning shot or pull a weapon out unless I am going to use it. I think many laws are designed to keep bullies from brandishing or warning shots as a means to scare people and if push comes to shove, they would run like many bullies do. Problem is, plenty are not bullies and showing our weapon is not a scare tactic but a warning we will actually use it if needed. We lose that up front warning system because of cowards.

MAJ Byron Oyler - I'm with you on the only draw if you're going to use use it. The mindset of the Fremen and their Crysk knives.
