AR-15 Self-defense in Mississippi

The gun hating part of the Left doesn't believe that the AR-15 is useful for self-defense. Mayoral candidate shot dead with AR-15 by brother-in-law in likely self-defense case: police

Jason Adam Marshall, 41, was fatally shot early Wednesday [27 December] morning when he showed up to the house he shared with his wife for 12 years before their reported bitter divorce, the Laurel Leader-Call reported. Marshall was a candidate for mayor of Soso during the town’s special election last month, local outlets reported, and previously served as a volunteer firefighter in the town.

Since he had made threats, including committing suicide in front of the kids, etc., his brother-in-law was staying at the house. He showed up armed despite a restraining order.

Marshall reportedly reached for his own firearm, a 9mm handgun, prompting the brother-in-law to fire at the man multiple times, reports state.

Soso Assistant Police Chief Tyler Hill told WDAM that both men fired shots during the incident. McCoy added in comments to the press that Marshall’s three children, whom he shared with his estranged wife, were inside the residence at the time of the shooting.

Police Chief Hill is an idiot. He had nice things to say about the dead guy. They guy who threatened his kids, and his ex-wife, and shot a 9mm pistol at his brother-in-law. Not the things the "nice guys" do, not in my book.

Marshall allegedly had violent outbursts with his family before his death, including in February of last year when he reportedly loaded a gun and threatened to kill his brother-in-law, the outlet reported, citing a divorce complaint.

If nothing else, this story proves that people intent on violence, whether in a mental health crisis or not, do NOT follow the law. It proves that restraining orders are nothing but pieces of paper, that a gun might save you before the police arrive, and that at least this time the AR won in the self-defense gunfight.
