(Example ) Arizona shooting

Louisiana RS 14:22

§22. Defense of others

It is justifiable to use force or violence or to kill in the defense of another person when it is reasonably apparent that the person attacked could have justifiably used such means himself, and when it is reasonably believed that such intervention is necessary to protect the other person.

One of the news reports I saw they interviewed a guy who was shopping. He was a ccw and carrying. By the time he showed up the "turd" was being handled. It happens in a split second so it is worth at least thinking about it in the case you are ever faced with something bad.

I don't know numbers but AZ has a lot of folks who carry due to the drug smugglers and the crime that goes with that.

make sure you know what you are doing. you pull out a gun and shoot the perp and some other ccw who doesnt realize the situation blasts you thinking you are the culprit.

another scenario is the cops pulling up and seeing you with a gun and shoot first and ask questions later.

neither a good outcome for you.

A CHP doesn't give you any authority other than to carry concealed in certain places.

Understood. Just a what if discussion. Not saying you should or should not do anything. Every situation is different and split second decisions are made. I think it is healthy to at least consider what you can / can't do and what your reactions might be.

I understand what you're saying but the title to the thread is.

can you protect others with ccw permit?

That's why I gave that answer.

Gotcha.

There are a lot of variables that come in to play before using force or deadly force on behalf of someone else and would probably make a better witness in most cases. Something like a mass public shooting does make it a little clearer, but even the guy in the video came close to shooting the wrong person.

Using deadly force to protect someone else is not only a ccw right. Is that correct? "Right" might not be the correct word but.... even if you dont carry ccw you can protect anothers life with deadly force if need be.

as opposed to calling it a right, I think we could say it would be defensible.

 

[James Cannon]

in a situation like the one in arizona, i would worry about hitting someone other than my target. that many people running around in fear = a bad situation for a good guy.

No kidding. That's the scariest part.

Although you "can" protect someone else under Louisiana Law, I don't know how advisable that is. Heroes generally end up dying or being sued into poverty. Every now and again, they get to live happily ever after with no consequences, but that is becoming more rare these days. Unfortunately, our litigious society makes being sued into poverty more of a reality than living happily ever after.

Granted, I am not an attorney nor do I play one on the internet so this is just an observation. I'd just hate to be on the receiving end of the attorney representing the family who went on television crying and saying "My baby wouldn't hurt nobody."

It's NOT a Responsibility neither a Duty for private citizens, eventhough the statues does "allow" you to intervene at the end of the day YOU will take the decition. This decition will not only affect you but also your family members and you financial stability so make sure before you are a weekend hero that you have taken all this factors into consideration.

 

[Philt1]

Yes , My post title is off my point but you guys get what im asking , now - im not a dunce with a firearm and never been a weekend warrior nor do i want to be a hero , but i do know my nature and yes EVERY confrontation will be different and the consequences of those actions will have outcomes that may affect all around us .

guess i should have named post WHAT IF

questions about my instructor and training where mention , well lets just say that i do have training by very good instructors , i just didn't know about LA. law on this situation .

Thank You for all replies

can you protect others with ccw permit ?

Sure. You can try, but I don't know how effective it will be. It might be more effective to use the gun that accompanies the ccw permit
