If wso, we must charge more the victim or good guy who shoot the bad with fake gun. I think its not a good deal. Robbing/threatening with fake guns is under the same intention, only without the intention to shoot. Crime is here. Recognize a fake gun is not easy under stress/threat. Continue your good job dean, be proud to have qnd fight for the 2nd amend. Regards from France. Vincent Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560059844266808045noreply@blogger.com
