[QUOTE="nemesis, post: 2743374, member: 12082"] Yes, I've taken the class, and the instructor did not know. This guy was positively clueless. He said such things as, "Smith and Wesson has a Smart gun that won't allow anybody but the owner to fire." "A bullet fired (vertically) into the air will hit the ground with the same velocity that it left the barrel of the gun." And concerning my question, he contended we had to wait until we've been knocked to the ground before we drew our weapon. He even showed us how to draw and fire when we're flat on our back. He didn't include in that portion of his lecture how to draw and fire if we were unconscious. I already know that I can defend someone to whom I'm close. If I'm "attached" to them, there's no question. I'm inquiring concerning the [I]legality[/I] of lethal force in defense of a stranger in a situation such as took place in Garland, TX. BTW, given our current immigration and political climate, this (such as Moore, OK; Garland, TX) scenario is going to occur with greater frequency. IMO. I just read this today concerning future acts of war on our soil: [url]http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-05/isis-warns-harsher-and-worse-us-terrorist-attacks-after-taking-credit-botched-texas-[/url] [/QUOTE]
