Hawaii man pulls gun on neighbor checking on lava-threatened home
So the question I have, what if the unarmed neighbor had been armed and concealed carrying what should have happened in this case?
Should the unarmed guy have blown away the 61 year old guy for threatening him? Should both have just started firing and both wind up dead?
Or would the answer have been, Strict licensing tests including proficiency and mental screenings to determine if gun owner is prone to violence? No guarantee but a test would likely determine the 61 year old should not own a gun.
