  1. How do you like that 3″ Ruger LCR you’ve been carrying. I have an 1.5″ LCR as my BUG.

  2. Preach it. Yes, “fear” is a dangerous thing to exclaim; not really part of the self-defense equation. It for sure isn’t “reasonable belief.”

    From a South Carolina appeals case this week explaining voluntary manslaughter:

    “A person may act in a deliberate, controlled manner, notwithstanding the fact that he is afraid or in fear. Conversely, a person can be acting under an uncontrollable impulse to do violence and be incapable of cool reflection as a result of fear. The latter situation constitutes sudden heat of passion, but the former does not.”
