Tango, the incidents I referred to where in the story I linked to and were not so much about a CWP or CHL as you call them down your way, but the relaxed "self-defense" laws that open up a whole argument as to what is "self-defense." Running after someone and shooting them, is hardly self-defense in my opinion.

In the case of the neighbor, I think he had called the cops and they told him to stay inside. Instead he took a shotgun, went outside and shot the two burglars in his neighbor's yard or at the street. They were unarmed, but he wasn't charged. That makes no sense to me.

The last thing I am interested in is wondering if the next person I come across in a national park is going to think that I'm somehow a threat to them, pull out a handgun and shoot me, then claim self-defense. If I'm dead, they have the perfect alibi.
