Stupid question but: was he not charged on carrying a weapon across state line?

[Decoy of Fenris]

29. "Good guys with guns" has always been a myth.

I mean, sure, it happens, but as the Gun Control side of things so eloquently states, it -almost never- happens. At least not in appreciable numbers.

Let me phrase you an equally implausible scenario: A black man shoots up a (insert public space here), but then runs. Puts up his hands, turns tail and tries to flee. Are the police (Or Gods forbid a random citizen) "Good" to just shoot him in the back and gun him down when he's no active threat? How many times have we seen of "Innocent" (Read; Caught in the act of committing a crime/felony) people being shot in the back, and we endure days if not weeks of moaning and breastbeating about the "Injustice" of it all?

C'mon. Let's at least be honest here. No, that'd cause a MASSIVE outcry, rightfully so. Attacking a fleeing person is dishonorable, gross cowardice, and unworthy of civilized conversation.
