[QUOTE]Originally posted by 5OHS5OH: [QB] [b]So you mean to tell me if (just what if) i were coming home from the shooting range one day, and i had my glock 40 in the car with me because I was going to a diffrent side of town, but i left the clip in the trunk. I get approched by a mean looking white guy (mind you this is just a what if) and he attacks me for what ever reason. But i pull my gun and accidentally pull the trigger not realizing there was a round in the chamber, and I kill the guy!!!! WOULD THAT BE AN ACCIDENT? I mean im not wrong for having what i think to be an unloaded reigistered firearm in my possesion, and defending my self??? No im black and I killed somebody rather they be black or white. Im gonna get some type of murder charge. What makes it so different for a cop??? Wrong is wrong, even cops should be punished for there mistakes.[/b] I didn't say he shouldn't be punished, I said I don't think he will be (nor should he IMO) convicted of murder. In your scenario, a lawyer could make a case for you and maybe get it pled down to manslaughter or something similar. I agree that your scenario isn't too different from the Bart cop issue. You're claiming that you accidently pulled the trigger. I believe that the cop is going to claim that he accidently grabbed the wrong tool. Does that make both of you murderers? I don't think so. You would have a problem in your defense as to why you were carrying a loaded gun in a car. I know you claim that you didn't know it was loaded, but ignorance is not a defense. You would be reckless in carrying your gun in that manner. It's a sad, unfortunate situation that is only going to get worse. I'm not saying that he isn't guilty of something. But I don't think he IS guilty of murder. my 2 cents [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
