Restraint Isn't a Bad Idea

From KUTV in Utah we get the following story. Utah home intrusion raises questions about self-defense laws

The backstory:

Last Thursday, a man fleeing law enforcement made his way into John Santy's house. The Summit County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called after a domestic dispute and that the man was acting violently and threatening people with scissors.

Santy pulled out his gun and was able to subdue the man until deputies arrived.

Why this happened:

But he had one thought.

"I didn't want to shoot him," Santy said. "I didn't want to have to do that."

"Get on the f***ing ground. I will shoot you," Santy can be heard saying to the intruder in video recorded at the scene.

No word on what charges this guy is facing.

Self-defense is a human right.
