Cyclist shoots back

I might yet come around on this Texas "everybody gets to concealed carry" thing: Texas cyclist shoots driver who deliberately crashed into his riding partner

The motorist, 26-year-old Jose Angel Hernandez, is alleged to have shouted at a couple cycling to get off the road as he drove his vehicle at a woman, apparently on purpose.

The man she was riding with then opened fire on the driver –carrying a concealed weapon is permitted in Texas under licence, although even that requirement will be scrapped from 1 September.

A police officer at the scene was reported as saying: “He was in fear of his life, and he was trying to defend himself.”

Isn't that the standard Texas "He needed killin!" defense?
