Who said Dog...or any BH, has a license to kill?

Why are you making stuff up?

Perhaps if you went back to read the post I was responding to you'd get a better idea of what I was referring to...

So a Bounty Hunter who may/may not be from Texas and may/may not have done something wrong....but it's somehow Texas and Texas' guns laws that are somehow at fault?

The shooting happened in Texas. Texas made both carrying guns without permit and hunting people down legal. Ergo there is a connection.

You mean we use our brains? Yeah. We do.

...probably because we are not from Texas.

I am not sure how this has anything to do with the new gun law, as a licensed bounty hunter would have been legally armed under
the older gun laws.
The local news said he fired because the person he was attempting to pick up tried to run him over.
He will get to defend his actions in front of a Grand Jury, but the Harris county DA, is not a pro gun rights person.

So there's hope.
 
Because we will be DRIVING to Tulsa next March/April, we will have to go through part of Texas, a state where we lived for ten years.
We'll be keeping a low profile while we go through there, as low as possible...maybe we will even try to drive straight through without stopping for the night or even to eat.

So, public execution for trying to get away from a bounty hunter is fine now?
Fantastic.

I thought he had an open warrant on him. The shooting in Houston was committed by a fugitive recovery agent and from the sounds of it didn't want to be recovered.

This ^ is the attitude demonstrating why the man will be found not guilty, if he's even indicted--regardless that he emptied his gun into a car carrying a mother holding her infant.

So your gripe is over Turtle's word choice? Well, then, bless you. Enjoy your semantic bullshit if that's what makes the time fly by for you.

in all fairness, he was not responding to say me calling the shooter a "bail enforcement agent" in that post. I said if he is indicted and skips, someone just like him will come looking for him and that is when Rich responded with "you mean bounty hunter" which I did (though I call them Bail enforcement agents which is the correct term, because some are under contract and are paid hourly or per job)

The funny part is that is the same poster that refused to acknowledge he was using the wrong term to describe the carry permit they allegedly have, even after multiple people linked to the states website showing him is error.

Simply having a warrant doesn't mean someone can be killed to bring them in this isn't the Wild West.
Warrants are given for all sorts of things. Then there's the fact that this guy isn't a police officer just some guy who calls himself a "Bounty hunter" which somehow seems to grant him rights to just go about shooting people at will just for running away.

There are multiple reasons why this is wrong and the guy should be charged with murder.
He at the very least endangered the lives of the woman and child by shooting into a car with passengers or is that unimportant now?

Shit who needs a grand jury when he can be tried and found guilty on social media even by non U.S. residents.

...or shot in his car while driving through Texas.

If the guy he was attempting to capture, attempted to kill him, he does have the right to defend himself.
The Grand Jury can decide if his actions were warranted.
I they think his actions were not justified, he will be charged with a crime.

No. The guy was trying to drive off. If he tried to kill the shooter, the shooter would have been run-Dover.

Which is why he must justify his actions to a Grand Jury.
If he was to the side of the vehicle, and not in danger, he likely will be charged with a crime,
if the guy tried to run him over that will come out also.
A car can be a deadly weapon!

We have no evidence from your posts that you do indeed use your brain.

So it was completely impossible for the guy to simply step out of the way of the car?
He should never have fired into a car with other innocent people inside who could have easily been killed as well even the military have rules of engagement for that and that's against actual hardcore terrorists.
Judge Dredd is not a "How to police!" information film.

You should no more fire into a car as you would into a school bus full of kids to stop the driver. It's insanity.
