My apologies there, TexasRifleman. It looks like a lot of stuff went on while I was busy getting my facts straight. I posted my reply and then found almost a whole page of discussion had gone on in the meantime!

Well here in the last half hour I've found quite a piece on that.
Google a document by a University of Manchester PhD named Quong.

Killing in Self Defense
Interesting stuff from the morality side of this.
In a violent crime, victims were innocent bystanders prior to become victims. When our actions turn innocent bystanders into victims, are we substantially different in moral responsibility from the initial criminal?
I only had time to read a few pages, but I find his reasoning lacking. He has yet to address a difference of an innocent aggressor and innocent bystander that the innocent aggressor is acting on you whereas the innocent bystander is not. The mere act of being a threatening force - intentional or not - changes their definitions substantially enough. The innocent aggressor, though through means not intended, is going to be a killer if you do not act. The innocent bystander is not.

its 1st degree murderSomeone probably mentioned this, but if you kill a person accidentally while you are in the commission of a felony, isn't the killing 2nd-degree murder?
Well, for one, Virginia...anyone who is old enough to own a handgun (18 in VA) is old enough to OC. CC however is still 21+. But many states allow CCW for 18+.not sure about that, a 19 year old with a pistol=criminal offense in most places I know of. Where did this happen? Is there anywhere that a 19 year old can legaly carry a pistol?
yeah but there are a couple of catches to that too. But easy enough to get by.Well, for one, Virginia...anyone who is old enough to own a handgun (18 in VA) is old enough to OC. CC however is still 21+. But many states allow CCW for 18+.
