Crafter_Man:
I stand by my assertion that you should use the word “stop,” and not “kill.” Reason being… even if it was a good shoot, there’s still a decent chance I will be criminally prosecuted or sued in civil court. I can hear the prosecutor now: “So, Crafter_Man, you stated your intent was to kill Mr. Johnson. Is that correct? You wanted to kill stop him?” Far fetched? I don’t know. But why take the chance? Instead my story (which is the truth) will be that I wanted to stop him as quickly as possible, and I used the most effective tool at my disposal to do so.
Added this to the potential repertoire - thanks! “I was in fear for my life and my family, and I stopped the perp.”
Would a wikipedia page suffice?
I LOL’d.
But if he wanted a Real-Life case of that, on pg. 2 of this thread, I did link to a guy who thought that grilling his fiancee on his Weber was the way to do it. It didn’t work, but made for decent black comedy.
