...instead of trying to take care of business yourself. That holds especially true if you were involved in an incident that you got away from safely such as having arrived at home safe and sound and out of danger. Too bad the mom who was recently shot to death in Las Vegas and her son did not think that way. New information has revealed that after an initial incident (an apparent verbal altercation) with a group of guys in another car, during driving lessons for her 15 year old daughter, the mom and daughter headed home. Once at home, the mom had her armed son hop into her car with her and went back out looking for a carful of guys with whom she had just had an altercation. After finding them, she followed them for awhile, then she and her son headed back home. The thing is they went out looking for trouble and they found it - more than they expected because the guys in the car followed them home and at least one of them allegedly shot the mom. More here. I think they would have been much better off had they just called the police or maybe better yet had they just left it alone once she arrived home the first time or even better yet if her daughter had minded her own business because it was her action that apparently triggered the altercation. No, she did nothing that deserved her mom getting shot but when I look at the big picture, I see the possibility that at least three members of the family seem to maybe be the type that go out of their way to look for altercations. If that is the case; well, this time they found one that was way more than they could handle.

Hi GB,
'Been following this story since it hit the net. Good followup. Basically a bunch of amateurs on both sides with "Highspeed projectile spiters and very little comprehension of their consequences!!" 'Yer doin' good followup reporting and I commend you for your efforts!!
From your observation my major comment for the situation "Sorry mom didn't use it" is,"Discretion "Is" the "Better" part of "Valor!!!" This would have been a "Non Event" "IF!!!" these two parties would have heeded that little piece of information!!
Got Gunz??,

skybill-out
PS, When I said "amateurs" I really meant "Amateurs"... with a........... "Capital 'A!'"
The woman in the story ignored two cardinal rules of self-defense: 1)YOU CANNOT BE THE AGGRESSOR. When she left her home and went looking for the aggressive drivers, she gave up her mantle of innocence and became the aggressor. This woman and her son let their egos and their anger do the thinking for them.
2) You're paying for 911 service. When you use it, the guy who comes has qualified immunity and you don't. Use that to your advantage.
