last i heard on this the wife died and the shooter still alive at the hospitable .. sheriff calling the CCW guy a hero ..

Yet more proof that ALL the "Good Guys" should be armed at all times. Who knows how many would be dead in that office if not for this CCW carrier. Cops would be there way to late to do much of anything to help anyone. Massacre stopped, good day for the "Good Guys" who are armed.

Only a couple short paragraphs but that's more than we see in the "regular" news!

Don't try this in NYS if you don't want to be punished for saving lives for the rest of your life.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Duty to retreat and all of that bullshit.

In this case there were clearly by the law no charges that could be charged but we all now that some DAs and police don't follow the law. this case would fall under (a)

NYS Penal Law, Article 35, Section 15, paragraph 2:

A person may not use deadly physical force upon another person under circumstances specified in subdivision one unless

(a) The actor reasonably believes that such other person is using or about to use deadly physical force. Even in such case, however, the actor may not use deadly physical force if he or she knows that with complete personal safety, to oneself and others he or she may avoid the necessity of so doing by retreating; except that the actor is under no duty to retreat if he or she is

(i) in his or her dwelling and not the initial aggressor;

NYS Penal Law, Article 35, Section 20, paragraph 2:

A person in possession or control of any premises, or a person licensed or privileged to be thereon or therein, …may use deadly physical force in order to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of arson (as defined in Article 150), or

A person in possession or control of, or licensed or privileged to be in, a dwelling or an occupied building, who reasonably believes that another person is committing or attempting to commit a burglary of such dwelling or building, may use deadly physical force upon such other person when he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to prevent or terminate the commission or attempted commission of such burglary (as defined in article 140).

So while there is a “no duty to retreat when in your home” and the legal protection afforded against “burglary” it is not the same as actual Castle Doctrine and the incorrect interpretation of them has contributed to the myth that New York is a Castle Doctrine state.
