An interesting question. Is a drug dealer shooting a rival drug dealer constitute a justifiable shooting in self defense?

That's pretty easy ... the answer is "no."

That's a pretty broad brush you're painting with, Wolf.

I won't put words in wolf's mouth, but *I* think they are.

Criminals with illegal guns can't go to the range to practice, so their aim sucks (even if in the unlikely event they're not high at the time), so the collateral damage rate is very high.

I'd say the vast majority of the shootings in Philly are young males shooting at each other over drugs; either territory or money. In the case of shootings over women, it's both territory and drugs, the drug being testosterone.
