Need your opinion kang; not official yet, but should this one be deemed a bona fide Defensive Gun Use (DGU)?
Stand your ground with a pistol vs fists and all that.

{Navy Seal} Martin and Glenn, 33, became engaged in a fight. Glenn went and got his weapon.
Martin charged at Glenn despite the gun. Glenn then fired the weapon.The two men knew each other...
Glenn has not been charged with a crime..detectives are still gathering facts about this case, which could end up being self-defense.
Martin was a ski instructor, firefighter, rescue scuba diver and skydiver. In addition to his vast resume, he was a father to 4-year-old Rocco.

There ya go, gary kwack fans, another 'dgu/defensive gun use' for the records. Ain't you proud of this one?
What do you think kang, another Zimmerman style dgu?

This should be in GD, if the current rules are still in effect. IMO. Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #1
