According to Sheriff Randy Seal, a man from Louisville, Mississippi was visiting Rowell, but before leaving the home, he apparently had taken a pistol from the home and placed it in his luggage.
Seal said that when Rowell confronted the man, he pulled out the pistol and pointed it at Rowell, his wife and mother. After a brief standoff, Seal said the man tossed the gun to the ground and began to run away. At that point, Seal said Rowell fired, striking the man twice. |

I think the operative phrase here is 'tossed the gun to the ground'.
Retreating does not make you a non-threat.
Disarming does make you a non-threat. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
