On the other hand, I don't get the sense from the tape that he went outside intent on killing someone.

He actually says "I'm going to kill them."

He also says "move and your dead" or something to that affect. But you're right, that's not going to sound good to a grand jury.

It's almost definitely "Boom, you're dead@!"

Newspapers (some at least, I've only read a couple) are reporting it as "Move and your dead" .... I dunno.

I'm curious to hear how more people feel. I just can't get behind the absolute assertion that the guy was wrong. And I really don't think this is a strong case for gun control, or at least, not as strong as some people seem to think.

The guy realy sounds to me like he felt he didn't have a choice - he felt duty-bound to try and stop the thieves. He may well be an idiot, and he may really have been wrong. But I listen to the tape and it's just not so simple for me.
