Today’s Post of the Day involves a verdict in a murder trial out of Akron OH, as reported by the Akron Beacon Journal, that illustrates the peril in which we place ourselves if we find ourselves in front of a jury.

Today’s Post of the Day comes from a recent use-of-force event in Missouri, as reported by local news sources. It illustrates how poor judgment in bringing one’s gun into play, even with the best of intentions, can quickly lead to a felony arrest and a ride down the criminal justice pipeline with the destination being
