Note he throw the first punch, then deserves what he got.

Edit: ON second viewing in his defense I can tell that the kids are total punks who probably were playing games on the road.

    And the lady pulled the gun but did not point it at anyone. But she's being charged for pointing a gun at them???

    I didn't see a shot fired.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Even if they win in court, they lose. It will cost about $10,000 to $15,000 to win.

    Sucker punch someone you may just get your * kicked as he did . Then his wife has to come to save him with a gun which he points at the kids . Bet he didn't feel so tough sitting in jail all black and blue after getting beat badly by teenagers. LOL!

    Sucker punch someone you may just get your * kicked as he did .Could you give your definition of 'sucker punch'? The guy walked up face to face while pretty damn clearly telegraphing his intent, then popped him one.

    I'm curious what state this is where it's illegal to pull a weapon to level the field when someone is in the process of being beaten down by multiple assailants?

    IMO, when you and your buddy gang up on someone and start issuing a beat down - whether the guy punched one of you or not - you just might get a gun stuck in your face. Fair is fair. [;)]

    Should have just left and not pulled a gun. I wonder if that guy would

    have laid a few good punches, maybe it would have been a different story?

    These sentences tell a lot of the story

    "The fight stops when Christy Turner emerges from the car with a gun in her hand. As the truck driver and passengers disperse, she hands the gun to her husband, who fired at least one shot."

    To stop an attack such as this one, and it worked. Guns are used much more without being fired to stop things like this and other crimes than guns being fired.

    Its much easier and more justifiable to stop it the way it happened than to kill one of the kids and then have to defend your actions later when charged with killing an unarmed teen.
