    The news said "police are keeping an open mind about self-defence".
    No shit, Sherlock.
    It was a gun shop FFS. Should they have called the cops and waited 3 hours?

    I have chilled beers here at the moment and will happily present them to the shop owners!

    Not the way I was trained, you shoot for the centre of visible mass. "If you have time to fire a warning shot then you dont need to fire at all" thats what my instructor told me. Mind you he also said that if you are going to shoot someone make it count, kill them. "Continue firing until the threat is removed."
    But that was in a different time and place so maybe its different here.

    Sounds like the guy with the knife should be a candidate for a Darwin award.

    Life, normally means 8-9 years before you can become eligible for parole and the minimum parole time can and is, often specified at sentencing. When you are released, you are out on life parole, normally, if its murder, which means you can be recalled to carry on serving your sentence at any time, if you re offend or fuck up. Its not that common but it does happen.

    Anyway - if I was threatened with, or was attacked by someone and I had a gun, I would use it! I'd rather it was me alive to face any consequences than the other fucker!

    Doesn't really answer my question, I know other people are trained to only draw a weapon when intending to use it and a firearm was never intended to warn people, the many verbal or other warnings should of sufficied and after that rounds to the COM till they cease to be a threat.

    This country makes me laugh. In the herald it says "but the business owner has not been arrested". Huh? Fuck, with the amount of violent crime going on, it's time we said enough is enough. This little shit would be known to police and would have a record a mile long already.

    The low life is in a serious condition in hospital. Lets hope the fucker dies so it'll only cost an ambo ride and a couple of hours in surgery.

    Die scum, die!

    He hasn't been arrested because there are no police available. However, today in Penrose police issued a record number of traffic infringement notices...

    What we should be doing is encouraging as many 'P' heads as possible to go into that shop... They should get more accurate as time goes by...
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    I know the shop reasonably well..

    You have to go down a driveway (only way in and out) and about 20m off the road you go through a door (again... only way in/out)...

    Perfect for seclusion from the road, but not so good if an escape/fallback plan is needed. The idiot set himself up to be ambushed.

    The guy behind the counter (or whoever) would only have to take 10 stpes and he'd be at the door, blocking the means of escape... and he'd have access to guns... of course.

    I'd say it's reasonable to assume the guy wanted guns (cash would be found at the bank up the road), and if I was threatened by someone demanding a gun... the chances are their 2nd demand would involve considerable threat to me well being.

    I'm not an advocate of shooting people, but I expect in this case it may have been the only option.

    I wonder what he shot him with?
    Having a crim walk into a gun shop would be like selecting a club for golf.

    Hmmm, shall I use the 9mm or is the .40 more appropriate?

    I suppose if he was lying there riddled with bullets you could call it death by natural causes.
