Gentlemen, another excellent show as always. As for that backyard shooting in Minneapolis that started off with warning shots by the Mother and her Son? First off, I am NOT an attorney, while I agree it appears to be justified self-defense at the time of the fatal shot at the intruder, I’m pretty sure those “warning shots” in the state of Minnesota would be deemed illegal. You guys brought up several good points as to why warning shots are a bad idea, but additionally the intruder was out of sight, in the detached garage, when they fired off those multiple warning shots…he posed no physical threat, nor could they even see him (he was in another building). That action was simply reckless. It’s not until they were directly threatened “…with great bodily harm or death” that they became justified. Lucky a prosecutor isn’t spinning their actions (prior to the fatal shot) and still bringing charges.
Every one of us firearm owners need to listen to these stories so we can continue to learn and understand both the legal and tactical aspects of what you guys discuss. keep up the good work!
