You aren't a redneck for defending your home or your life with a gun.......But you're a redneck for getting into your car and chasing after them and shooting them, IMO.
But I love how some of you try to take anyone who objects to this behavior and lump them into the anti-gun crowd, or anti-self defense crowd.

Or perhaps it's not fear, but a different idea about what citizens should and should not be allowed to do. I don't think it's right to use deadly force against someone who no longer presents an equivalent force against you, and is simply running away with something they allegedly took from you. Think of the slippery slope that would open up.
I may be wrong but I doubt there are many police departments whose policies freely allow thier officers to shoot fleeing thieves unless they had used a weapon, had physically assaulted someone, or were physically threatening the officer.
