There are so many comments I couldn't read them all. His CCW permit is not an issue here. I don't know if anyone pointed - out that it is legal to carry a gun in Las Vegas in plain site. This is referred to as "open carry". Anyone that is not a convicted felon can do so. Costco and any other business is required to post a notice at the entrances indicating that guns are not allowed. In absence of that notice you may legally walk in with it. Metro may detain you and request to examine the gun to see if it reported stolen. If not they have to hand it back. You may not carry a gun concealed or not on government, school or public utility property.

I got there right after they took his body away. From what I could tell the driver had to have gotten on at Jones which means he taveled almost a mile the wrong way before he collided just before the Decatur bridge. How you can't figure-out you're going the wrong way that far I don't know.

I think deadly force is justified if Namez just looks at you.

I can't understand a reasonable person accepting the police officer's decision to shoot her. The rhetorical question asked in the article is the relavant point: For Joe and Jane Citizen, who have been critical of the case, that logic doesn’t always compute, and jurors appeared to ask questions to the effect of: Was the use of a gun a necessary response to a kitchen knife, especially when the knife was being held by one relatively small woman who was surrounded by policemen? My only conclusion is that the officer wanted desperately to finally be able to get to use his gun and shoot somebody. I hope the Feds intercede and prosecute these psychos. I'm a 6'4" man and have absolutely no fear of a 100 lb woman threatening me with any kind of knife. The next time the Henderson police are confronted by a woman with a knife call me and I'll save a life.
