Does this become illegal at the point of chase?

the way I see it, once the threat is no longer you are suppose to stop. You are suppose to not pursue.
If I was a juror, I would stand up in the middle of the court and applauded him for doing what the rest of us would have liked to do.
Too darn funny seeing them run for their lives tripping over each other. -
He chased them out the door and stopped. I would consider them a threat as long as they were in the same room and had the ability to cause great bodily harm. I don't think you would have a problem in California. I think the difference is that you would definitely be arrested, booked and then the DA wold decide if you are going to trial.Comment

Yeah, it is fine to pursue at least briefly to make sure that the area is cleared. Don't be shooting at them, however, if it doesn't look like they are preparing for aggressive action.CGN's token life-long teetotaling vegetarian.

Surprisingly that was a great news report as well. They applauded the man and didn't twist it into him being a criminal.
I wonder if the man's age had something to do with it. If a 30-40 something man did the same thing... just sayin'
Hopefully this man stays safe now that one of the two men posted bail. He is a great man that potentially saved many innocent lives that day.Comment

There was a longer clip where you could see the shooter lock the door after they fled. I would consider what he did, up to and including locking the door, all part of a good shoot.I support the NRA, if you are not in, you can't win.Comment

The thug who fell down still had his gun and was still a threat. This isn't "giving chase", this is making sure the threat is gone.member: Electronic Frontier Foundation, NRA, CGF

Please take note: the only reason this thread on the Florida incident survives here is that the OP asked a reasonable question on behavior.
The rest of the discussion goes to the thread in OT.

Very accurate. Once they are no longer a threat, stop shooting. The facts will be viewed individually, based on the info the shooter has at the time of the incident and whether his actions were reasonable based on that info.LASD Retired

I handled several situations like this as a CA LEO. Never once did the person get arrested or filed on. Please don't add to the FUD unless you have factual information
If it is a good shoot,you are just spreading FUD.

I just saw this. If this we're California, would it have been legal up to the point where the 71 yr old man chased?

My 2 cents.... I watched the video, but I didn't go over it in great detail...sigpicComment

As long as an assailant still has a gun, he can whirl and fire, and he is still a threat. Good shoot IMO.www.christopherjhoffman.com
The Second Amendment is the one right that is so fundamental that the inability to exercise it, should the need arise, would render all other rights null and void. Dead people have no rights.

Even the last shot to their backs as the perps had already tripped over themselves running away across the cafe, out of the front door, with their face to the ground, after already being shot? That seems like they are in a "flee-for-life" situation. Did the perps even fire one shot? How many shots did that elderly, white male fire? These are relevant facts.
Irrelevant would be, what if that elderly white male was instead a young black man and the perps were old white men? But my question is serious, if you would feel the same way?Comment
