The title is demonstrated in graphic detail in the case of New Hampshire's
Dennis Fleming.
Fleming is the man who came home and found his house had been robbed and
went to find the robber. After searching for the thief for about a half hour
, Fleming saw him coming out of his next door neighbor's house.
Fleming fired a warning shot into the ground with his handgun and kept the
burglar at bay until the police arrived.
Police arrested Joseph Hebert at the scene, but later also arrested Fleming
for "reckless conduct". For what? Firing his handgun in a residential area.
But he fired it into the ground to stop an obvious criminal. Arresting him
was stupid.
A result of stupid laws that over-reach into the lives of people who do the
right thing when police fail to do so.
What really looked ridiculous was a young police officer trying to explain
why the person who caught the burglar was arrested. For doing what police
fail at regularly. Using their guns to harmlessly stop people from
committing crimes.
To the prosecutor's credit, as of this writing, the charges against Mr.
Fleming have been dropped.
Common sense won out in New Hampshire.
Now the rest of the nation would do well to look at laws governing what
private citizens can do to stop criminals without being arrested and
prosecuted themselves. Police are usually not the first line of defense
against anything related to criminal activity.
Allowing private citizens to arm themselves and take reasonable action is a
consideration every state should take into account.
