“@ Dman – Are you SERIOUS?! A responsible use of a firearm? Please tell me you do not have a CC permit.”

@Pat: Whether I have one or not is my business. If somebody tries to stop me from leaving a confrontation, you bet there’ll be defensive measures taken. Unlike sheep who trust the system with its 15-30 minute delay (this after a phone call) to defend them, I try my best to protect myself and loved ones in a more efficient, accurate, and lawful manner.

Wonder why when Gerald Baton finally admitted they had a weapon years ago at a bonfire party in Milton, why he and the others were NOT charged? The justice system is beyond messed up in Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties.

I have tried many times in the past to press the point that Bail is not a fine or punishment, but a surety to appear in court. That being said, $3000?! Really?!

Gun–check!
Alcohol–check!
Testosterone–check!
Bad judgment–check!

Seems to me that responsible gun owners should be condemning this type of unlawful behavior by irresponsible gun owners. Because going to a party, getting drunk and threatening people with a gun in no way shape or form reflects the intent of Stand Your Ground, and causes a ton of headaches for those who do things properly.

The gun was legally carried and owned…The two were being threatened for their lives, Yes they were both intoxicated however, One young man ended up with a broken nose in three places, The vehicle was damaged and also ended up in a mechanical shop and is not capable of being driven at the moment. You also have to think they are of the legal drinking age and the weapon was legal…They were being assaulted kept from leaving and their lives being threatened…Not saying it was right but you have to remember there is always more than one side to the story.They may get off with just probation but every person in the town of their residents now knows and they will never live this down.

The gun was not carried openly…One of the men was assaulted himself by another person at the gathering that ended with a broken nose in three places.The other mans truck was also vandalized damaged and resulted in the vehicle being put in a mechanical shop.The two yes we’re under the influence however when your life is threatened by multiple people and not only you but your vehicle and friend are assaulted and have a legal weapon what would you do?Just an opinion not saying it’s right but every story has more than one side
