This is one reason I don't carry or even own a gun. I'm certain I wouldn't shoot someone for shoving me to the ground. But if someone much bigger and stronger was super mad and I thought they would physically harm me, I'd shoot them.
Why? Because I'm a coward. And cowards with guns are a dangerous thing. Many cops who carry guns are cowards just like me. This guy was probably a coward. Instead of standing back up and dealing with the situation, he just shot the dude because he had a gun and was more powerful in that moment. As long as there are guns on the streets I'm all for the right to bear arms. But if you're a coward, you shouldn't own or carry a gun.
