Tuesday evening's fatal shooting of a driver after a fight quickly escalated on a rural road northwest of Redding drew debate on local social media on when a person can shoot in self defense.
According to the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, the driver who was killed, 49-year-old Mark Alan Turner of Redding, and his passenger drove a Ford Expedition SUV to the end of City View Drive off Walker Drive Road to see the city lights. The pair parked at a turnout about 50 yards from the home of James Johnson, who told them they were trespassing and needed to leave. |

It's not clear whether he was on the public right of way or trespassing at the beginning of the conflict.
It is clear that he was engaged in a potentially deadly assault when he was shot. I don't see what else is left to argue about. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
