The other thread, which was posted before this one, about this story shows the man had fued with neighbors for a long time and had several weapons stashed throughout his property.
Why was this person using a child as a shield?

First of all, no where in the article I read was he using the child as a shield.
Second, owning firearms is not illeagle for anybody but felons in this country with the exception of a few states.
He was not brandishing ANY kind of weapon. And as I stated earlier no amount of rhetoric spouted by this man deserves a shot in the head. I don't care how bad a neighbor he was.
We have laws protecting our rights to be individuals Even if we're an a-hole

I'm afraid that still doesn't justify a bullet to the head.
Come on people, if your going to be sheeple, the majic bullet theory suggests the shot should not have been taken for fear of ricochet.
