Defensive gun use...
One Year Later: Vic Stacy and the Peach House Shootout | The Truth About Guns
The mainstream media doesn't report these story's, but here you go. Stacy used a Colt Python which is sub zero cool, so extra points for that. I also would like to mention that Texas is an awesome state. In CT he would have been arrested and we would be getting together a legal defense fund to try and help. In Texas he is given $5k worth of ammo and a nice rifle as thanks!

Good shooting with that Python, and keeping a cool head under stress. My Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt is capable of a little less accuracy, but then I got it with the 4 5/8" barrel. I think the 6" version would be its equal or better.
Note that in any defensive shoot, you should be prepared to ground your weapon and be cuffed, at least for a while, while the police figure things out.

Nice job, and a well deserved rifle.

Clearly, the DA figured that he might have a case for something other than self-defense. Technically, the fellow was not personally at risk for anything until he left his RV and sought the DB. He truthfully has no claim of self-defense. Be clear that I'm pleased the DB is history............but the law doesn't allow it to go down as it did with a claim of self-defense. |

Brian,
Maybe not self defense but justifiable homicide in defense of an officers life had to be hashed out? I am not a lawyer by any means but the grand jury does seem a little overboard

If justifiable homicide was permitted by statute, the DA would have no need to convene a grand jury. The fact that they did convene a grand jury tells me that they did not have the law on the side of this fellow. |

There iis a well-worn saying:

Since your quote is very true, the fact that he failed to get an indictment tells me that he convened the grand jury just for show and never made a serious case for the indictment. Personally, I would think that any DA worth his stones could get an indictment in this case, since I doubt Texas law allows any citizen to leave his abode and seek out a DB with a gun and then take him out, notwithstanding the fact that the DB is firing on a police officer. |

Nobody said he claimed self defense. And the grand jury issue is a non-starter, the police officer was also no billed. The grand jury is not a trial so that junk does not apply, it is an investigative tool. And maybe the DA was also a tool (Democrat) and that was why they did the grand jury thing....

If it was perfectly clear that there was no crime committed, he would not have convened a grand jury. Apparently, your ignorance of Texas law is equal to my own, and yet you live there. |
