Defence??
Hello all...
Some of you might remember a few years back when a SW Calgary pharmacist shoot and killed a robber who had attempted to rob his pharmacy... In that instance the robber fled when the pharmacist pulled out a shotgun, had left the pharmacy and was running across the street when the pharmacist chased after him, and fatally shot him in the back as he ran... He was charged (subject to check) with 2nd degree murder, was tried by judge and jury and was acquitted...
Similar circumstances to the current situation except the thief was not killed... There is hope...
Personally, my home has been broken into twice in the last 2 years, my truck has been broken into three times in the same period but on different occasions and I have had items stolen from my yard... I can understand how a person might be inclined to react if they caught the thief(s) in the act... I think a jury would as well...
Best regards
Mike
ps. I have beefed up security since the thefts and so far all is well...
