So he said he didnt mean to fire the gun. Tough tulip. You go out with a gun and you use it even though you didnt mean to makes you guilty as sin in my eyes.

If you didnt mean to use it why did you carry it with you. If a police marksmen had shot this guy he wouldnt have been allowed back on duty by saying he didnt mean to shoot him.

He should be shot if you ask me.

I say let the guy go. He showed more bollox than the guy that started this thread and we need people in this world that are not afraid to act on their emotions.

As you said if police can kill innocents, innocents can also kill.

Well unless he was using an old fasioned six shooter he must have cocked it. All semi auto modern pistols need to be cocked to put a bullet in the chamber. Considering it also had a silencer on it it stands to reason that it was most likely a modern semi-automatic pistol.

And I can't wait until i get Jury Service, the scummy chav is going down, GUILTY AS SIN!!!!!

That's chambering a shell, cocking a pistol usually involves pulling the hammer back... unless it's DA, when you can just pull the (very heavy) trigger...

And yes, things have moved on since the colt 1911 which was a single action auto.

In that case we mean the same thing but are using different wordings. If I was asked to cock a semi auto pistol I would chamber a round as pulling the firing pin back when there is nothing in the chamber is rather pointless.


Amend my above staement from cocking the pistol to chambering a round for clarity.

As stated before guilty as sin

That is enough cocks now. Thank you.
