Gun Shop Employee Speaks Out Over Shooting

Newsroom Agency Story8:00am, 5th October 2006

A gun shop employee who shot a man in the Auckland suburb of Penrose in July says it would be a travesty of justice if he was prosecuted over what he calls a clear cut case of self defence.

A decision is imminent on whether charges will be laid against Greg Carvell, who says the man was advancing on him with a machete in the shop.

Mr Carvell says he has had a stressful and emotional 10 weeks waiting to hear his fate.

The police are seeking a Crown opinion before deciding whether to prosecute.

Mr Carvell's alleged attacker faces a charge of assault with intent to rob.

Will justice be done??

No. Because he didn't shoot him in the head.

I would have dick whipped him into submission cos I'm so much harder than you pussies.

The Carvells know some damn good lawyers...

Prosecution would have a hell of a time.

Seems fair considering we have probably all contributed to the other guys through our taxes...

**FilthyLuka** · 5th October 2006, 10:21

if this guy gets prosecuted, it will be a real wake up call to the injustice of our so called "justice" system. I mean, if a dude is robbing my house, and he falls over and breaks his ankle, I get sued? what the hell? Sometimes i really loose faith in the human race...

SuperTed would fuck you up Texas Pete.

Frankly I'm still amazed the guy was able to pull a gun from a secure place, open a box of shells, load the gun, take aim and then fire in the space of time it took the other guy to open the door and commence his advance.

Respect - he must be as skilled as Lee Harvey Oswald was in getting a rapid stream of shots from an antique rifle!

Impressive.

I hope he doesnt get charged with anything!! That would just be WRONG!!
It was an interesting day here at work that day, (gun shop is 20m up the rd).

Really? Its not that hard man.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that they did the cleaning and servicing of firearms on situ. If he had been there a while, I would be really dissapointed if he couldnt get the gun from a safe state to a round in the chamber in under 15 secs. Im not talking about a full mag, just a round in the spout.
