Just an FYI......Alaska law has since changed and any adult can carry a concealed weapon with a few restrictions. No permit required.
Have their been many wrongful deaths as a result?
Absolutely not. Alaska has a long history of its citizens packing firearms concealed or not and there have been very few incidents that would warrant stricter regulations.
Sounds like justice was served - eventually. How bout a big hallelujah for the Rev. It's almost surprising to me that he got indicted.
Moral of the story - don't break and enter.
Moral of the story....if you break and enter you might end up dead. As far as the baloon guy goes, I don't know his story. Maybe these same teens stole shit from him over and over. Maybe he was a nutjob. maybe if some kids weren't sneaking around behind his building climbing on the roof of his livelihood they might not have been shot.
Moral of my story...better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6

If I do nothing they come back later and kill someone who interrupts their next robbery. You tell me what is the best logical choice (since you want us to think first). Killing them is the best outcome.
So every punk kid that does dumb shit goes on to a life of crime? I stole shit when I was a kid, I didn't turn into a murdering rapist killer. If you would prefer to shoot a 10 year old because you know he has no chance of turning out normal, that's fine, it's your call.
My opinion..do what you want, and take responisibilty for your own actions and we'll all be fine. I just don't want my rights to own and brandish my guns taken away one day because others abused theirs.
Bang bang.......oops! I think this guy got five years or so for manslaughter.
TEEN SHOT DEAD DURING PRANK SENIOR KILLED AFTER TRYING TO STEAL STORE'S BALLOON (9/11/1992)
Great example. But can you find one that isn't older than Ballhawk?
If it were some kind of epidemic, I'd probably be concerned. But you know an argument is weak when people have to dig back to 1992 to find examples.
These kids didn't break in. 5 years seems like a very short sentence in this instance.
Ok. Scott. Here is another one. I dont' think when it happened matters to the parents.
There was a man in Baton rouge who killed a teen at his door because he felt threatened. Remember the case. the teen was just mistaken and RANG THE FUCKING DOORBELL..and what a surprise..he was a minority...JAPANESE.
The man was acquitted. But, i'm sure that is fine with you.

The balloon guy should have gotten murder IMO. I don't remember why the DA didn't go for a harsher sentence but these kids didn't deserve this nutter shooting at them. Yes they had climbed on his business and were fucking around but in no way ever threatened him. There was some justifiable outrage over the five year sentence. (I believe he ended up serving three years)
The church had been broken into a number of times by these big lake losers and they were caught inside.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time fuckers.
Probably...we shoulda given him a gun for protection.
Did he die?
Of course not...it was madison.
The point was that under your premise he coulda been killed...for simply being a drunk college student.
The funnies part of the story was that he passed out on the couch while the parents were gone and their 16 year old daughter was upstairs. Everything ended with a smile.
As opposed to the tears of Mr. Hattori whose son died because he rang the wrong doorbell.
