Pardon me for jumping in here....
"To carry your logic to an extreme:
Suppose my neighbor was walking his dog, and he permitted Fido to defecate on my beautifully manicured front lawn. Offended and angry, I pulled out my Glock and shot him five times through the heart. If he hadn't permitted his dog to soil my lawn, he would still be alive.
As I understand your logic, my neighbor would be "the one actually at fault here" (to quote you), since he initiated the exchange. Does that mean that I couldn't or shouldn't be charged with shooting him?"
That logic is completely false. By taking out a Glock and shooting him you are "escalating the situation" which is nothing but trouble if you carry.
I did not see or read the first thread however
Once the bad guys stopped beating on the driver the chase should have been aborted and help rendered to the driver if for no other reason then to avoid the legal problems that is happening now.
As a person that owns a Glock 21 (there you go turrbo) and carries it legally you never escalate. Shooting a dog owner for deposits on your lawn is way overboard.
If the Bad Guys did not stop beating the driver after I told them to stop, after I announced my presence. I would have drawn if they did not stop at that point; I would have held my Glock "gangsta style" and "put a cap in their dome". ;) (Not really gangsta style aiming correctly is a problem).
Once they stopped beating on the driver any actions I take, that results in a death, I am responsible for in some way.
