What if a person with a concealed carry license, or a

blow him away?

At least he was found guilty, Such incidents many times have
more dire consequences with fewer penalties.

And of course, the shooter was acquitted of murdering a
teenager dressed  for a halloween party.
 
"Hattori was dressed as John Travolta in "Saturday Night
Fever" and was brandishing nothing more menacing than a camera"
 
but hey, louisiana....
 
then there's this:

"A Louisiana man faces aggravated assault and battery
charges after firing a gun at children who were playing hide
and seek outside his home, wounding a 14-year-old girl,
according to the local sheriff’s office.....The girl
suffered a gunshot wound to the back of the head early Sunday"
 
simple searches don't show what the result of the charges
are. I guess he should be let go, after all, all he did was
shoot a 14 year old in the head while she was running
away....Small price to pay for paranoid white males to keep
their deadly toys.
 
(and yes, andrew, we know you're going to counter with the
'hundreds of case where guns were successfully used in self-
defense'...again, the deaths of a few innocent kids are a
small price to pay for paranoid white males to keep their
deadly toys)

Deadly force is lawful to counter a credible threat to human
life, such as a home intruder at 3am. It is not reasonable
or lawful for imaginary situations or property, such as a
guy stealing hubcaps in the street outside. Or a child in
the yard.

State Statutes are relatively uniform in that regard.
