MACHETE-WIELDER SHOT IN GUN SHOP
27 July 2006
A man who took a machete into a South Auckland gun shop today is in hospital, after he was shot in the stomach.
The man was thought to have been shot by someone in the shop about 10am.
Police spokeswoman, Noreen Hegarty said details of the shooting were still vague and she could not say what "the precursor to him being shot was.
"It would be reasonable to question why he went into the shop with a machete."
The not so placid...

Unfortunately for the shop owner the pleece are treating it as homicide/attempted homicide.

Pisses me off that you have no right to defend yourself/others in this country. If it's someone else you don't know, better to let them die than to risk life in prison for using lethal force to defend them.

It'll be interesting to know more about the case, it might not be as it seems......
Hmmm:
Machete wielder: Hello Mr Gun shop owner do you service Machete's like this one here?
Gun Shop Owner: No fuck off, BANG.
or could be
Machete wielding nutter: Hello Mr Gunshop owner, I want to kill you by chopping you into little bite size pieces.
Gun Shop Owner: Oh okay but first eat this....BANG
Viva La Figa
Playin' around
I dont think I could just "let them die", especially as Life in Prison in NZ means you're out in 3 years anyway.

Surely in a gun shop they would have video surveilance (sp?) that they can look back on and actually see what happened? You'd think anyway...

Not surprising. When my other half renewed his gun license he had to answer "when is it OK to use a gun in self-defence?"
The correct answer boils down to (well the answer you must provide if you wanna keep your license)
"if they shoot first and miss"
Even if they come at you with a knife, or are standing there with a gun pointed at you, it could still be argued that you used excessive force.
\<\------look a bike
You can't set a precedent by shooting some one who was trying to kill you. Doing this would send the message that it is ok to shoot people. It is NEVER ok to shoot some one, regardless of the circumstances. The gunshop owner should have reasoned with the confused individual in this instance.
You lot should join the NRA. Shame.

Sounds like his favourite game must be rock, paper, scissors...
What a moron, half the dairy owners are probably armed nowadays, did he think the guy behind the counter of a GUN shop wouldn't be? Hope the video surveillance shows the guy threatening to kill the owner or taking a swipe at someone in the shop. Deserves everything he got, just a pity he survived.
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
