dude is a shitbag by all accounts for what he did, but just an example to never talk to the police in a situation like this, or any other possible felony.

It's not like the old man is a danger to the general public. He's not out there shooting random people dead. He offed a couple of deadbeat criminals.

Yeah, you can't execute them, but I could see someone making a convincing argument that the fifth shot was necessary because they were still moving and it looked like they were reaching for a gun. Assuming of course that the fifth shot wasn't behind the ear or something.

I'm moving in a different direction than the conversation to which your post was responding, but I'll point out that if I shot an intruder in my house I'd assume I was in danger from that point on. They know where I live and presumably they're very unhappy with me shooting them. If they're just arrested for burglary they'll be out of jail in 24 hours.

Now I'm picturing all the dangerous old people that shouldn't be issued drivers licenses and still are... I certainly don't think you should take guns away from old people, but a check in on them every once in a while with a psych eval or even a basic firearms test wouldn't be too extraordinary to ask.

Seems like he didn't have much trouble with basic firearms operation.
