Re: CHL REVOKED class C misdemeanor sec 42.01

I am NOT attempting to question the validity of the OP, but I'm trying to figure a scenario where a CHL firing into another vehicle would be "justified" in an obvious, textbook, black-n-white way. All I can come up with is ...

A) they (vehicle occupants) were firing at the OP
B) the vehicle driver was trying to run you down with vehicle

I may be missing some other possible scenario, but other than those two I can't think of another that would be absolutely justified (and even above two may be unjustified depending on circumstance).

Add to the realm of possibility the all too typical scenario of a road rage incident gone too far (with either or both parties at fault as the "rager" - once bullets start flying, doesnt really matter - the party shooting is instantly labeled as the side that went "too far") and I'm puzzled as to what exactly happened leading up to this unfortunate loss of CHL.

Again, I am NOT intending to disparage the OP in any way. Just trying to connect the dots of this story to fill in some blanks. Regardless of how overzealous a prosecutor was, anything short of a "textbook" good shoot (if there is such a thing) always has the potential to turn sour for the shooter ... which leads right into KeithB's very appropriate statement above about the narrow circumstances in which he would draw a weapon (an action-reaction MO that I rely on as well).

If the OP is not comfortable revealing more details of the incident, I fully understand. If the OP asks us to take him at his word that his actions discharging a firearm were justified, then I have no basis other than pure analytical speculation to question him.

But for me personally to fully understand this situation and make any further comment, I would need more details.
