If the robber was shot in the back (I don't know if that was the case but hypothetically) while trying to leave the store, exiting not threatening anyone…I would expect criminal charges to be filed against the shooter. We don't need folks walking around playing Judge Dredd.
I am duly licensed by the state of Texas to carry a firearm. It is legal for me to do so, and the purpose is to use it if I need to. In the class they taught me that I was justified if someone pointed a gun at me or someone else.(Fake or otherwise)
This doesn't make me Judge Dredd. It makes me licensed by the government, and gives me the authority to dispense justice on active shooters, and criminals who seek to threaten the innocent. As scriptures states.
The criminal should fear CHL/LTC holders everywhere.
As the attorney AggieLawyer stated, this is wrong. My opinion is coming from a cop and a former Texas CHL instructor. A CHL license doesn't give you any more rights or authority than any other citizen, except where you can carry.
Even cops aren't allowed to dispense justice, and for good reason.
If your chl instructor told you something like that, he should be reported and have his teaching privileges taken away. He is putting people in some serious legal jeopardy.
