I think if he fled the scene like that merely getting sued's the least of his worries. (nt) Posteritatis Jul 2012 #5
Seems to me if CCW is legal in his state, then suit is the only option for the gun portion AllyCat Jul 2012 #8
He has been charged with injury to a child and evading arrest. LisaL Jul 2012 #22
They should shoot him in the buttocks. lapfog_1 Jul 2012 #36
