I don't think ^that^ was really even part of the training.

A lot of people have a very ****ed up and uninformed opinion on what they can legally do.

Recently a friend of mine here, smart reasonable guy, professional, got into a bit of a road rage incident on the way home. Happened within a mile or so of his house and the guy he got into it with followed him down our block.

He parked in his garage ran inside got his gun then opened his front door, gave the guy the finger then closed the door and left it unlocked insisting if the guy entered his home he'd be justified in taking a shot at him.

I told him had that transpired he'd likely be the one going to jail.

He failed to understand or acknowledge that you can't bait someone into a self defense claim even after our other friend a former Baltimore Cop and current Federal LEO agreed with me.

Mind you, that would have been no different had he grabbed a knife or baseball bat instead of a handgun.

Yeah, lots of morons out there including some like your buddy that shouldn't be.
