Convicted Felon Won't Be Charged in "Justified" Double Homicide | WSPA
Shooter will not be charged. Good info at the end of the article.
A case known as State v. Brayboy provides that "a person can be acting lawfully, even if he is in unlawful possession of a weapon, if he was entitled to arm himself in self-defense at the time of the shooting."
Array
Being as he won't be charged, will he still remain in possession of the gun, or will he have to get another hot one off the street to replace it?

maybe he's been reformed, bad people can do good things... Glad that they didn't charge him but, like most, not sure I like the idea that he had a gun..
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless

So.. he was outside and they had the "intent" to break into the apartment.... think there has to a lot missing in this story to jump from one thing to the other, or to know what really happened.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I have mixed feelings about this case, but believe that everyone has a right to defend their home. I am glad that justice was served and his right to home defense trumped the possible charge against him.
But then I struggle on where his rights to defend should end. If a felon can legally defend his home with a firearm, why not let him have a firearm in his home legally. If he can legally defend his home, than why not allow him to defend his person and family out of the home.....and so on.

Sometimes the Felony Charges that take away a persons right to own a firearm are of a non violent nature,such as he was charged with forgery.
I believe that sometimes the case law on the books actually make sense,It would be stupid to knowingly let somebody beat you/kill you without using the means to defend yourself at hand even though being in Possession of that weapon is Illegal.

The shooter was able to convince the sheriff that the gun was his girlfriends and that he only picked it up when the confrontation happened. There is a lot missing from the story. The fact the both bad guys were shot once in the head and that they were found behind the air conditioning unit makes me wonder. I do trust Sheriff Wright though, and believe he has evidence that we have not seen.
