Let's try this and you guys give me your take on it. I understand we're not lawyers, but let's just see where it takes us...anyone game?
Scenario I:
Imagine the upstairs of your home. There is one long hallway with the stairs perpendicular to it directly in the middle, forming a T. Asleep in your room is your fiance and daughter, and in my case, my father would be asleep in the loved ones room, 60y/o, not really in a position to defend himself.
You awake to the sound of your little dog barking from your loved ones room. You grab your pistol and surefire from the nightstand and proceed to the door of your room to check it out. You open the door quickly and quietly and proceed to light up the hallway. You are immediately greeted by an intruder 5 yards away from you who is blinded by the light and you notice that he is armed with what looks like a 5" folding knife. You scream *at him to freeze, but he turns around and runs down the hallway passing up the stairs, heading towards the loved ones room. He reaches the door to the room and reaches out to grab the door knob and begins turning it when you put 2 hollowpoints in his back. He drops to the floor and appears to pose no more threat.
So, good shoot or bad shoot?
What if you light up the hallway and he does NOT appear to be armed?
Scenario II on it's way...
