The permit holder had a chance to retreat, he did not take that chance but continued the conflict by chasing the BG---this will be super bad for him, he will need a good attorney

Again, not being a lawyer etc etc, it is my understanding from reading online that MN passed HF 1467 which, among other things, added a "stand your ground" clause and removed the duty to retreat, even outside your own home.
It is my understanding that this law went into effect August 1, 2011.

If that did not pass then I believe the old law was quite a bit different. I haven't put a whole lot of time into researching it.
I am from MN also. Watch for announcements in case this guy looks like he is in further trouble. I, for one, would be happy to contribute to a defense fund to help him with legal costs. He will need a pile of money regardless of circumstances. Good people are looking into it. We all need to cover our own in cases like this. Maybe more info at the gun show at the fairgrounds Oct 29th.
If the man chased the BG, and THEN the BG pulled a gun on him and fired, that's a good shoot(in theory), correct?
The surest way to lose CCW privileges is for yahoos to start running around shooting common thieves.Well he won't be stealing from innocent people in the future now will he. One less piece of scum in my opinion. The robber was the one who instigated the crime and died as a result of his actions. Had he not decided to commit robbery, he would still be alive. That's how I see it.

OK - The thief ran away. Call the police, and let them take care of the rest.
