Do you guys know of cases where good guys who were not CCW licensed shot and/or killed bad guys? I assume these cases usually turn out bad for the good guy when taken to court, right? If you guys could link me to any articles you know of I'd appreciate it

I assume you mean non ccw but carrying outside of the home anyways? 
Or non ccw and home invasion shooting?

Oh sorry...yes, I mean non-CCW but carrying away from home.

There was a guy who open carried at Zippy's way back when.... Got into a bit of trouble.

probably not too many, because in most places where you need some sort of license or permit to carry, doing that kind of makes you a felon.

i think Oregon (not sure) and Arizona dont require permitting?

In Maine you can open carry without any sort of permit etc..And when you want to purchase a gun you walk in, fill out a simple form, they call for an instant check and your out with your gun of choice in 10 minutes.

Cant wait to move back!

Not just Maine, something like 40 states, this is the norm.

In the state it happened, i dont think it will make big news.  the locals are already used to it, and it dont fit the normal anti gun agenda. 

Any article about this kind of thing are going to be very rare.  First of all, good guys don't actually have to shoot bad guys that ofter (<10%); most often, the bad guys run away as soon as the gun comes out.  In those rare cases where someone does get shot, there are usually no witnesses (which is why the bad guys were choosing that time and place to be bad), and the good guy leaves before the police arrive.

If the police is even called.

Firing shots then leaving before the police show up, is that legal?

Nope, it's reckless endangerment, or attempted murder. Also caring a firearm with out a CCW falls under place to keep and you will be arrested and charged, weapon seized. If you shoot someone it's called manslaughter or murder 2nd if the person dies. It doesn't matter if he was the aggressor because you already broke the law by carrying a concealed weapon. The court my look at as mens rea. If the person survives its aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They are all felonies.

Thanks Db, when that was posted by another user, i was like that doesnt sound right.

if there is a permit requirement in place then, yes, he's right, not just in hawaii.

Yes, it's very illegal.  Which is why anyone who does it won't stand around waiting for the cops, and why you'll find so little information about this subject.
