There was a case a couple of years ago in downtown Snohomish where one shop owner was being robbed by gunpoint when the shop owner next door lay in wait out front. The perp popped out the front door and "bang" right behind the ear at point blank.

Never went to court. Wa. law states pretty clearly deadly force is can be used for self defence and to stop a felony in progress!

As for me, and I've said this several times here over the years, I will try my best to walk away from most of these types of instances but, if you try and steal or hurt my dog shoot and I'll just have to hope that Dogfish and Aunty are on my Jury!!!
