Lindsay, while I agree with most of what you said, the one golden rule I was always taught is to never draw a weapon without the explicit intention to use it. You never want to use it for intimidation, as that cannot be termed "self defense"
pending what the full story is, and the fact we shall probably never know, I will withhold judgement on if it was justified or not. This will either be a she deserves an 6 digit number and a cell at IWP or Rockville, or should be praised for defending herself.
I do not care to hear one sided people claiming gun control is to blame when no one really knows the full extent of this story.
on a side note, I have never in my life heard of a dispatcher telling a caller to keep their hands where they may be seen......that doesn't make sense - Yamaha
Why?The judge can only sentence on the more serious of the two charges.
Why?
You guys are reading this one tear late. The woman was charged & convicted. She is facing 20 years. Her son pleaded to battery for kicking the man on the ground after he was shot.
After she does her time and is no longer deemed a threat to society, why should she not be able to protect herself? Yes she messed up, bad, really bad. But after she serves her time and gets some training and counseling why should she not be able to carry ever again?I don't know what the rider's intent was but it does seem like the woman has a problem and hopefully she will get the appropriate counseling that she so desperately needs. Here's hoping she will never be allowed to carry any kind of weapon whatsoever for the remainder of her life.

Because she will be a convicted felon. It`s the law.
In defence of the Motorcyclist: I am wondering how a motorcycle stopped a SUV from passing? Did he cross the yellow line or did he protect his lane by riding on the left side of HIS lane?
In defence of the SUV driver:

Yes I understand the law, I just do not agree with it. Which is why I asked why she should hopefully never carry again? And there are a few firearms she could quite possibly carry, antique and repro cap an ball for instance.
Because the next two people she may shoot don't think she deseaves three strikes/shots.
