Some folks might remember the Brady’s posting this particular story about a Utah concealed carry license holder who shot a man in self-defense. Well, it turns out he’s been cleared in the shooting.
Mays was two or three feet away from Harrison when he lifted his shirt with his right hand moved his left hand toward his waistband, prosecutors wrote.
Fearing Mays was reaching for a gun, Harrison drew his concealed .38 Special revolver from a holster at his waist and shot Mays once in the chest, killing him, prosecutors wrote.
Two other witnesses corroborated Harrison’s account, prosecutors wrote, noting that Harrison is licensed in Indiana to carry a concealed weapon, and that Utah recognizes other state’s concealed carry permits.
“Mr. Harrison believed that Mr. Mays was reaching for a gun to shoot him,” the release states.
Guy acting erratic comes up to me, says “You don’t know who I am, but I’ll fuck you up” and then reaches under his shirt? Yeah… I would have drawn and fired too. This not only was legal, it was the right thing to for Harrison to do. Any police officer in the same situation would have reacted the same way.
Any upstart bloggers out there might be able to make a name for themselves by following many of these cases that the Bradys enjoy highlighting and seeing what the eventual resolution is. In this case, they were completely wrong.

Did they change the original article at Brady? Because it says “shooting was legal, but was it ‘right’”?

“Any upstart bloggers out there might be able to make a name for themselves by following many of these cases that the Bradys enjoy highlighting and seeing what the eventual resolution is.”
But that would mean having to actually visit the brady website regularly.

I had an idea (maybe a stupid idea) a while back that someone should set up a blog that mirrors all the Brady posts but allows open comment on those posts. maybe with a little google-fu it could out rank the Brady sites.

“…it says “shooting was legal, but was it ‘right’”?”
Not the correct question – question is not: Was it right? – question correctly is: Who is left?
Answer is: Law-abiding citizen with (thankfully) a gun.
End of story.
“Brady’s are interesting folk………”
Perhaps, in the same sense that watching pee dry up on a hot sidewalk may be interesting. Otherwise, no particular interest involved…
