Lol, yeah. I originally figured Oregon.... big open spaces. Did not think it was an apartment complex.

Watch the video. Do you see any dirt? Only pavement of a parking lot. He fired at a guy who was already scared away and running away. I can see if he has 5 acres and the guy is on his property and knows it. He is in a freaking apartment complex.

Here ya go... the video. So the guy admits going into combat mode, goes outside to shoot a warning shot at a guy walking away. Winning. There is absolutely no way a 223 round will skip, or splatter and go 20 directions. We have never seen that of course.

Here is another article that makes it a bit more clear. Guy was inside the house, bad guy was breaking into the back door... " “There was nothing that the suspect was doing that was aggressive enough to justify the shooting. In fact, the suspect was walking away,” said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau. " Point 1...Bad guy should go to jail, and would not be a great loss of life. No arguments from me. My argument is... if the guy was already walking away, is it ok for you to fire a shot at someone? http://www.kdrv.com/man-attempts-to-stop-felon-with-firearm/ Do you discharge a firearm when there is no longer an immediate threat to you? One more link.. http://www.theglobaldispatch.com/corey-thompson-oregon-iraq-afghan-veteran-loses-ar-15-and-arrested-for-firing-warning-shot-at-intruder-77711/ This was in an Apartment Complex. Of course there is no danger to anyone else.

This has nothing to do about him being a vet, if you knew me, you would know I have nothing but respect for them. This has everything to do with firing a warning shot which is stupid. He either felt in danger, in which case he should of use deadly force to defend his life, or he did not, in which case he was discharging a firearm at someone who was not endangering himself. We don't know if the guy was inside his house, outside or anything. If the good guy was inside the house, and the bad guy was breaking in.... how does the vet put the round into the ground? Into his floor? Or was the bad guy out the door already, running away and the good guy puts a round into the ground to chase him away? We know nothing about what actually happened. As the LEO officers on this board already posted... a warning shot is still use of deadly force. You can't just shoot of rounds to chase someone away. Having a gun barrel pointed at them will do that by itself.

exactly to what I eluded to. I think the Florida is 7 - 14 - Life? Scratch that, found it. 10 - 20 - Life The law specifies exactly what categories of crimes fall under it, it mandates that offenders be sentenced to the law's maximum allowable extent for the committed felony, and that the mandatory sentences must be completed consecutively to any additional sentence an offender must serve.[2][6] The law's name comes from three main mandatory sentences: 1) producing a firearm during the commission of certain felonies mandates at least a 10-year prison sentence; 2) firing one mandates at least a 20-year prison sentence; and 3) shooting someone mandates a minimum sentence of 25 years to life regardless of whether a victim is killed or simply injured. The maximum penalty is a life sentence unless the defendant is charged with felony murder or first degree murder in which case the maximum is the death penalty.[2][6] In addition to the "10-20-Life" rule itself, the law also established or increased other mandatory minimum sentences:[2] At least a sentence of 3 years in state prison for felons who possess a firearm; At least a 15-year prison sentence if the offender is in possession of either a machine gun or a semiautomatic gun with a high-capacity box magazine while committing a crime listed under statute 775.087; At least a 3-year prison sentence for aggravated assault with a firearm; At least a 3-year prison sentence for aggravated assault on a police officer;A,B At least a 3-year prison sentence for aggravated assault on a person aged 65 years or older;A At least a 3-year prison sentence for aggravated battery on a person aged 65 years or older;A At least a 5-year prison sentence for aggravated battery on an officer;A,B At least an 8-year prison sentence for possessing a machine gun, or semiautomatic firearm while committing any type of battery on an officer or person aged 65 years or older.A

Would be fun shit, won't it? If I was a bad guy trying to break into a house, and someone yelled hey, stop, and I turn around and am staring at the business end of an AR.... I would crap my pants.... forget the warning shot. Devil's advocate.... If the bad guy had a gun, and saw the guy fire warning shot at him, would he be justified in shooting back? Or your rights go out the window when you are committing a crime? What if you are walking across a property minding your own business?

Why? Exemption can be for any seller. You cannot be forced to buy them all from one dealer. Think of it, if you are asking for an exemption as a collector of firearms, what are the odds that all your guns are from one dealer? Isn't there already a writeup about Exemptions?

NO NO NO NO NO. You are incorrect. Where does it say it is only from the same place? You can buy from multiple places. Read the forms. One form is for you, that lists every gun from every person. The second form, is one for each seller.

I don't think he should be serving jail time... but the guy did not think.... at the very least. Why did he have to fire a shot towards the guy? Why didn't he wait for the burglar to come into his house? Why don't we let drunks drive, without punishment unless they kill someone? Firing warnings shots, in the ground or somewhere else, the bullet is going somewhere. The warning shot did absolutely nothing, especially if we take the article, that the guy was already running away. Yes, I am an advocate for gun rights, but I am not an advocate for stupid gun owners. It is good that a crime was stopped, but he did not take the best course of action. Should he get jail time? No, but I think there should be a fine or whatever is the local ordinance for a discharge is.

There is nothing wrong with bringing up or discussion when a cop did something wrong.... the problem is... people cannot be respectful. You always have a 5 year old who has to bring up insults against all cops, and it is always the same people either looking to get a rise out of someone, or just want to play internet commando. The worst case, and I would hate to think it is the truth, is that some people truly do feel that way, in which case, you add nothing of value, have a nice day. you WILL NOT be missed.

Especially if it is a 50 BMG.... humn, anyone use a 50 BMG in a home defense/breakin situation? Would be fun stuff.

It was supposed to be through your local PD, and they sent it off to SP. HOWEVER, if you already have the permits, some members have reported success sending it directly to SP themselves. If you need your pistol permits, you have to go through your local PD as on the forms, you need to write the permit number iirc.

Where is this street? sounds familiar. By the outlets?

See, Shawn is just trolling for attention. It's ok.... you.... you were just disrespectful and abuse.

Its ok.... someone's tv coverage is over fan club parted ways. =P There, I said it.

where is video where you need it? The article leaves a lot to be desired out too. Where was the burglar? Where was the good guy? Inside or outside his house? Why give a warning before the warning shot? Either warning, or shoot..... or if the article is correct, the guy is already running away, why fire warning shot?

You have to wait the full 30 days to submit nics. Quite a few folks getting in trouble with this as I found out speaking to an FFL.

They can be from more than one place. The guns do not have to come from one seller.

Very true... then there is the question of.... is shooting a round into the ground by the perp more effective than simply screaming, "hey, stop right there, and having an AR pointed". Bad guy would of either run away or stopped right there, end of story.

Ok.... having read the article completely.... the guy says he fired it at the ground. Terrific.... where did it go? Rounds most frequently skip off and fly somewhere else.... and then we still have to take the guy for his word that he fired it into the ground. If he felt in danger, shoot the bad guy, hell, miss and shoot him in the leg and give him a very very bad day if he was the aggressor... but I agree with others, he could of done more harm, not thinking about it. Shoot some matches, you will know about ricochets. Past few matches, in FL and Vegas... there were issues that people were ducking for ground.

And skipped off to where? Unless the ground was wet... that round likely went somewhere.

Where did the warning shot end up? What is his warning shot bounced off and killed an innocent guy just working in his yard?

In Florida there are minimum sentences for Drawing your gun, or shooting your gun. So minimum 7 years iirc for brandishing. However, no issues if it is in self defense. I get being noble and firing a warning shot... here is a question, where did that warning shot go? Where is that round going to come down? Whom might it hit? That warning shot does not go into outer space and does land somewhere. If I lived in that town, I would be mighty pissed off of someone shooting rounds in the air.... but no issues if it was self defense.
