Worst yet is DUI & Doctors.

These "statistics" are pointless.
If hammers are more dangerous, then why on earth would you carry a gun? Clearly, (according to your own statistics) hammers are the better choice for protection.

Because they know they were wrong but the damage was done. This country is full of sheeps that believe exactly what they are told. Wonder why the majority turns a blind eye while the govt tromps over our rights

off my soap box now

So I think we have definitely established that drunk driving near Thor is bad, is that about the jist of the thread?

[willhe64]

The OP was minding his own business. Some waste of life comes at him with a Hammer.
I wouldn't shed a tear if extreme action was taken and the hammer wielder was killed.

If you act outside the law, why should you have the laws protection?

We should not value the life of a deranged harmful individual the same as that of an upstanding productive member of society either. Darwin was supposed to sort this out but now society is filling with burdens on society.

I don't carry, would have done the same as the OP did. Got out of there and called the cops. Would not of shot him had I been carrying as the option to flee was there. Still if someone did, he should not spend one minute in jail.

Thor???

It's amazing how many of you are advocating shooting someone in this situation. Drive away or kill someone because they are walking toward you with a hammer -- hmmm, I wonder which one is the right decision.

What if you had a vehicle behind you, in front of you and had no avenue of escape? What would you do then?

Be a victim?

And a hammer IS considered a dangerous weapon that can cause fatal injuries

This thread is chock full of crazies....

To the OP, glad you got the hell outta there.

But I still marvel at Texas law on defending property with deadly force:

9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or
tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the
other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the
deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of
arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the
nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing
immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated
robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the
property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or
recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to
protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or
another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

The law sounds right to me, i wish Oklahoma had this law

This is why we have the Castle Doctrine, is it not. To protect yourself or others at home or away.

You can't just pull out a gat and waste him for holding a hammer and walking up to you. And you also can't just pull out the rod and warn him away by showing it off.

In the USA today there's a lot of talk about guns. It's time the USA starts understanding what its talking about. And in TX, if the guy had been shot him for what happened...ask a TX cop what he thinks

And before the BS 'anti-gun' toughguy talk starts: I own more guns than you and have a permit to carry and I think the anti-gunners are loons. We're not talking about anti-gun, we're talking about macho "I'd have killed the guy" bullshit. You're talking about a life here and this is one of the problems in this nation: no respect for life and a lack of humanity.
