[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2607063, member: 24531"] Yes...anyone who does that is trash, but anyone who'd shoot them for it is even worse...But then you have the possibility the guy checking the line feels threatened by the stranger who caught him in the act. This is the great paradox of concealed carry...what would you do if you caught someone keying your car??? See how fast things could go bad if you don't just keep an eye on them and call the cops? But even then, YOU HAVE NO PROOF. The law is very much setup to protect people when there is reasonable doubt. Unfortunately, that means YOU are going to jail if you do anything to a guy checking your jug lines...you have to just let him do it or ask him to stop and risk confrontation to where the prosecutor says "...so and so shot so and so for checking his jug lines..." Even if the bad guy threatened you when you caught him...it won't matter. It is my understanding that when concealed carrying, you are held to a higher standard and that if you do anything that you know could encourage or escalate conflict, knowing you are armed, then you are making a willful decision to stay in the fight instead of retreating except if your life is in imminent danger? So if you are carrying and some guy flips you off in traffic, and you CHOOSE to flip him off back, and it leads to him attacking, then you might not be off the hook if you shoot him because you chose to escalate while you were armed. Isn't that the way the law is setup? [/QUOTE]
