[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 977946, member: 1132"] Lots of people are focusing on the bar issue. Unless we know for sure that he was entering the bar armed, it's a red herring. I can even think of a couple of reasons to enter the bar armed. If I'm being harassed and threatened by two criminal looking thugs in a parking lot, I'm not gonna stow my gun in the saddlebags before going in. I may also want to go where there are witnesses that may discourage a criminal attack. I may want to go in and have someone call 911 to report the harassment (keeping my hands free to defend myself). Land line 911 calls can be tracked to a location as opposed to a cell call (in case the call is interrupted by an attack). If someone did this they would still be in violation of the SDA as it applies to bars. They might be arrested based on that fact alone. But an explanation of the facts would likely result in any SDA violation charges being dropped if it comes out as a clean shoot under exigent circumstances. I'm totally not saying this is what happened as I have no idea of the actual facts. But it's a reason to not rush to judgement. [/QUOTE]
