If I go looking to gun down some criminals, of course it's not self defense. But if I go to talk to someone and feel treatened by them, I am entitled to defend myself. And if I'm going into a situation that I think might be dangerous, can't I have a gun ready? That's what guns are for (on this line of reasoning)--self defense. As I said, I really doubt that anything like nthis is what happened, but it might be a reasonable line of defense, given the new Florida statute.
But Sean probably has been witnesses by all his "boys" saying "I'm gonna get those suckas" etc. And I'm sure that his "friend" who got pinched with him will say whatever he can to get off the hook. So it's going to be messy. But all this is to get a plea bargain, so maybe the prosecuter will think twice before challanging a recently passed law protecting gun rights in a state that's very pro-gun. Do you really want to seem anti-gun when you've got to be elected in Florida as a DA?
All this is conjecture. Who knows what will happen?
Drew doesn't return my calls, backrow! What's with that guy?!?!
