Here is a scenario I like to make. Lets say your lying in bed and you hear some screaming. You get up and grab the gun. Heading toward the front door you hear someone has just gained entry to the rear. Turning around you see a person all of a sudden appear from a hallway. *You fire* In fear of your life. But wait. This guy doesn't have a gun. Lying there motionless on the floor with the pool of blood getting bigger. You lower your weapon and then another person enters from the same area. you proceed to take them down as well.......
Turns out the person you shot was actually fleeing for their lives from another attacker (2nd victim) and hoped to evade them by going in your place. A police investigation reveals that the first victim was an enemy of the second and was simply trying to escape.
Now what happens. No leathel weapon on their person and their dead in your hallway. Guess what.......Your in cuffs with your wife and kids crying and screaming! Not only did your actions affect the lives of the victims in the shooting, but the lives of your family as well.
House and all possessions are sold to afford a good trial attorney. Need I go on? Wild scenario....yes. But a true one!
