    A Walk on the Wild Side

    The stay at home turns into a months long quarantine . An elderly couple is at the grocery store and observes another person deliberately coughing on the open food and then turning to cough in his direction loudly proclaiming " if I have this virus, Y'all gonna get it to "

    The man knowing that the State has a stand your ground law and having been listening to the news decides his and her life is in danger. He whips out his trusty pistola and puts six or seven rounds center mass.

    Is he legally safe from prosecution ? . I believe Michael Avenitti will be his lawyer.

    Does he walk or spend the rest of his life in prison ?

    Unless the assault (aimed, deliberate coughing) is continuing and near enough to reach the victim, or the shooter can articulate a reason to believe it will continue he has no right to shoot. The shooting would be retaliatory rather than defensive.

    I went to the grocery store again and saw that they had about 10-12 12 packs of toilet paper on the shelves with a lady there stuffing it all into her cart. Her reply to me was because I need it. About then an employee walked up and said one per customer and she had a fit! I have my rights etc... I grabbed a pack out of her cart and went to check out, she just stood there getting redder and redder.

    In the old days before lawyers you would just get your butt whipped for being a jerk. No offence to the lawyers.

    I've been shopping at two little grocery stores in Quartzsite, the one I went to today had water, not a lot. You could get two one gallon jugs and one 24 pack of bottled water. Was no crowd waiting. Also picked up a pound and a half of ground beef and a nice bottom round roast.
