The standard is not were you scared, but would a reasonable person be scared? Obviously I think the woman who pulled a gun was in a situation where a reasonable person would be scared, but I just wanted to point out the correct standard.I think we've already established in another thread the gun owner who pulls a gun because they are scared is ALWAYS right, no matter what. As long as they say they are threatened it's all good.
That sarcasm aside, I agree, that while this was not a 'smart' decision by the woman, this woman's actions, based solely on what appears to be a more comprehensive video, is much more understandable IMO. They were trying to leave and the mother clearly was intent on stopping them. But yeah, white lady is likely going to pay. And now a 15 year old girl not only didn't learn a lesson, her ignorance has been more firmly implanted. Way to go mom!
