A Florida man is using the state?s ?stand your ground? law as a defense after he shot a customer who was complaining about slow service at a St. Petersburg Little Caesars Pizza restaurant.

Randall White, 49, was in line waiting for his pizza on Sunday when he began complaining that he wasn?t being served fast enough. According to the Tampa Bay Times, 52-year-old Michael Jock was also in line and scolded White for whining.

The two began arguing and it eventually ?became a shoving match,? police spokesperson Mike Puetz said.

After White allegedly raised his fist, Jock pulled out a .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver and fired a shot into the man?s torso. A second shot also hit White in the torso. One round became lodged in the restaurant wall.

When police arrived, Jock told them that the shooting had been justified under Florida?s ?stand your ground? law, which says that gun owners do not have a ?duty to retreat.?

?He felt he was in his rights,? Puetz explained. ?He brought it up specifically and cited it to the officer.?

Jock, who had a concealed-carry permit, told police that White had an object in his hand, but later abandoned that story under police questioning.

?We determined it did not reach a level where deadly force was required,? Puetz said.

Jock was arrested by St. Petersburg Police and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and shooting at, within or into a building. He was released by the Pinellas County Sheriff?s Office after posting $20,000 bond.

White later told the Tampa Bay Times that he felt lucky just to be alive.

?There are arguments every day, but how many people pull out a gun?? he observed. ?He was in my face and I pushed him. His life was not being threatened.?

White admitted that he had been agitated when he started complaining that his thin-crust vegetable pizza had taken more than the 10 minutes the restaurant promised. :rolleyes:

?Twenty minutes later, I?m like, ?Where?s my pizza??? White recalled, adding that he still had a bullet fragment in his back but he ?got lucky.?

?To me, that stand your ground rule ? people are twisting it. He?s twisting it. I walked in to get a pizza and I got shot ? I?m hoping the law prevails. We?ll see.?

He was WRONG and these morons give responsible gun owners a bad name, hope he's charged and looses his carry license on the grounds that he didn't pay any attention to his training, had he payed attention he would have known that this was not a situation where the castle doctrine does not cover

So glad every Tom, D*ck and Harry isn't armed in the UK. Not saying we don't have guns on the streets as that would be silly, but we don't have problems like this in general.

Just out of curiosity, what paperwork/background checks would I need to buy a gun and get a concealed weapon permit if I was a U.S citizen ?

Another dumbarse who should have his right to own a firearm removed.

He knew he was in the wrong, that's why he tried to claim a false story first. I bet he's been storing this little tid-bit of information for just this reason.

All you need to do is prove that you have mental health issues and they give you a gun for free.

No, you'll get stabbed or beaten to death.

Depending on the State, there is a Federal background check that takes ~4 days to complete, that one makes sure you aren't a criminal or wanted or have been institutionalized or have lost the right to carry there is also a mandated class in firearm safety before you are allowed to carry, or even buy a weapon, usually the shop won't sell you the weapon till you show proof of taking the class, it costs between $100 to $300 again depending on State and what class you actually take. In most Stets to carry concealed it's an extra process that involves your fingerprints, another background check and extra training involving the when and where to carry and or use the weapon, some States will issue you a card with your picture as a license to carry, some just give you a simple card. The fees an time required to get fully concealed carry will be ~$500 or so dollars, months worth of time plus the cost of the weapon and ammo, and could go higher, some States or Cities require that you have a bond taken out on you just in case you wrongfully shoot someone

What gets me is that all you hear is when someone wrongly uses a weapon, but like in the Mall shooting that story died because the criminal was stopped by a dude with a legal concealed weapon, and he didn't even shoot the criminal, he was worried about innocent people behind the criminal, the criminal killed himself after just seeing the guy point his handgun at him while the guy was deciding whether or not to shoot the criminal, no that doesn't make the news because it's counter to the agenda that guns are "bad"

All you need to do is prove that you have mental health issues and they give you a gun for free.

Took you long enough to show up and ruin the thread with your constant hate and ignorance

No. The UK murder rate is about a quarter of that of the US. But don't let logic or reason get in your way.

Background checks are standard for conceal and carry permits. No felonies, no mental history issues, etc...

If he's convicted of a crime, he will no longer be able to own a weapon.

I assumed so and that is what i was getting at, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Unfortunate that we can't see in to the future and see what people would do once they owned a weapon, i say that but the whole Minority Report thing does make me shudder.

They both should be arrested for eating Little Caesars.

Customer should be sent to the psych ward for attempted suicide and the worker for attempted genocide.

And yet you are 3 times as likely to be a victim of crime in the UK... but like you said, don't let logic or reason get in your way.

Do you just randomly type out words and call them a thought?

If you are incapable of reading in context, you are correct. Read the quote and it makes perfect sense. The joke was made that eating there was grounds for arrest. I expanded on that thought.

Most violent crime in the US happens in impoverished inner city ghettos, that are more prominent in the US because of a lot of reasons, but one is the countries are just demographically different. If you're in a gang area in the US or in the UK you'll be equally likely to be a target, whether by gun or knife. If you're in a suburb in the US you're not very likely to be murdered either.

And then once in a few years these incidences of mass shootings happen, which seem to becoming more common regardless of the fact that we have more gun control than we used to have. And once in a while you read of students planning to use a bomb, rather than guns, before the threat is diffused, and I don't know how you ban that.

Could you provide a source for your 3 times claim please? I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious to see the figures.

    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some do not plug in at all and instead get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
