If it was a stolen car, and the owner tried to stop them by shooting at them, he's going to be charged. Especially in Philadelphia.

"Police are not yet clear on if this was a carjacking – or an attempted car theft and shooting – but these incidents have been on the minds of the public and police."

Lethal force to defend stolen property is not justified in PA. Or many other states for that matter. Definitely not in NJ.

Good shoot of the carjackers. Unfortunately the other two accomplices got away. 
 

Now, the family of the dead perp is calling for ‘justice’. They want the victim who shot their son to be charged with murder. 
 

Fuck that. You should have taught you son not to be a violent criminal, and maybe he’d still be alive.

Rules of use of deadly force apply. Victim (meaning the guy who was carjacked), had a reasonable expectation of receiving serious bodily harm or death, being accosted by 3 men carjacking him. 
 

I will concede the illegal carry point. 
 

I believe he was defending his life, and I think that’s a perfectly justifiable conclusion to draw in this situation.

There are a few things that don't add up here.

If it was a car jacking, who was in the targeted car? It wasn't the shooter as he was in his residence.

Has anyone ever heard of the perps trying to tow away the target vehicle in a car jacking? This sounds much more like regular theft with the owner not present.

If those two things are true, I do not think it is a self defense situation and the shooting was not legally justified.

The report says the shots were fired from inside the car owner's residence. Since when has anyone needed a carry permit inside their home?

The shootout is one of several recent incidents in Philadelphia in which would-be victims have fought back and turned the tables on their assailants.

On Jan. 17, a 60-year-old man with a license to carry shot an armed 16-year-old male who attempted to carjack him, FOX29 reported. The teen was wounded and later arrested.

On Jan. 10, a 32-year-old victim with a license to carry a firearm was sitting in his car when an armed 18-year-old suspect pointed a gun at him. The victim fired through the car window, hitting the suspect multiple times. The 18-year-old was later arrested.

On Jan. 3, two men carjacked a Lyft driver who also had a license to carry a firearm. The driver shot both suspects, who were each wounded and arrested shortly after the incident.

Philly Fights Back!  Love it

"Over time, Justin's obsession with the girl became worrying. She learned that her hometown friends in Naples, Florida, were selling the man photos of her and other information, including her cellphone number."

Those are some shitty friends you got there. Also I will add that clicking through to original reporting, those hometown friends were from jersy city.

    • Sorry, both are SPF.  Being picked up this week. Win M22  22 LR SPF to Ringwoodfrank.
    • Yup I see. Looks like right now you can only purchase the 2023-2024 permit still. I assume won't be able to purchase 24-25 season permit until July.
    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
