Yes, every gun should be treated as loaded. But now when the family sues "intent" will be an issue.

Yes, but not the intent of their little angel. That would not get them the money they feel they deserve and will actually complete the robbery of the institution their progeny initiated.

You can argue all you want, I defy any man on here to take 5-6 shots in 8 seconds and be standing and alert enough to shoot a gun, on drugs or not. Imagine twice that going through you.

OK, So what was the excuse to shove a gun in someone's face?

Why is that ridiculous? You yourself have brought up lawsuits in your post above! So obviously it is not ridiculous and since the family is now trying to lie what do you think a known criminal would do? Someone who is willing to pull a gun on someone is not likely to have scruples about lying to get even more money!
When people like you who feel for violent criminals may be on a jury I think it is the only choice an honest man has.

Do you have any specifics of this mentality that do not involve fictional movies? More people are murdered now then back then. Hands down. No questions asked.

I agree with you on this part.
