Heated Argument In A Parking Lot Leads To A Concealed Carrier Unwittingly Shooting An Unarmed Man

Although he may have been within his right, this is the kind of crap to avoid. BECAUSE I carry, I purposely avoid altercations and escalations. I understand I have the ability to take someones life and realize the great responsibility that comes along with that. It never should have gotten to the point that it did. Tragic all around and more fodder for the anti's.

Damn thats crazy. Bluff got called.

I carry everywhere I go, because of that, I try to stay gray and I avoid altercations.

I will not shy away from them, but I do not look for them. I will do all I can to deescalate a situation if possible.

This guy, maybe, should have tried that instead.

BTW, it may not be a good justification case just saying that someone was reaching into his waistband.

What could you ever expect to gain by announcing you have a gun when you don't? Even if you are armed no one should know you have a weapon until it's drawn.

Yes, exactly right.

Thats a shame. It's actually commendable that the guy who did the damage stuck around to tell the guy about it. You don't find that kind of behavior in New York. But going on to bluff and say he was carrying a gun was a mistake. From the sounds of it he did that first and then the guy who actually was carrying was now on a heightened sense of alert.
