Shooter's post at parallax adjustment (Six Gun Swede) reminds me of something that happened a while back. My wife is not really afraid of guns, but she is wary of them. I had just bought a used S&W Model 28, the Highway Patrolman model in .357. I loaded it up with some .38 Special for the wife the shoot. I threw a Pepsi can out in the back yard and we backed off about 10 yards. Her first shot went right through the middle of the can. I said, "Wow, you drilled it right through the middle!" Her response: "But I was aiming at the big P."

The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law says that arresting someone for committing a felony is a violation of their civil rights, but Special Assistant County Attorney Barnett Lotstein (Maricopa County, AZ) disagrees:

Special Assistant County Attorney Barnett Lotstein said Thomas' office is sticking by its decision.

"We are confident that the decision we made with regard to Haab was appropriate," Lotstein said. "He did not break the law, and we do not prosecute someone if they're not breaking the law just to make a point. That's what some people want us to do."

Arizona's citizen's arrest law allows a person to arrest someone committing a felony, and in Haab's case, one of the illegal immigrants was smuggling humans and the other six were conspiring with him, both federal felonies, Thomas has said.

As usual, emphasis mine.
