I talk about this all the time in my CCW training classes says Gregg Kielma. Avoid-Escape- Defend. Never, ever put yourself in a position like the one below. Deescalate, before you find yourself in jail for either murder or attempted murder. Your firearm should be the last resort. A simple argument over eggs and Peter Riera
will be going to jail for a very long time. Please use common sense. Never have a firearm on you when alcohol or drugs being used.
Let’s Take a LOOK at Maria's article.
A late-night debate over how many eggs a chicken can lay escalated dramatically last week, leading to a Florida man allegedly firing a handgun at three other bar patrons.
Peter Riera, 44,
was arrested after he called 911 following the incident outside a local pub. According to Port St. Lucie Police, the argument started inside the establishment over an agricultural topic—how many eggs a chicken could produce.
The conversation became heated and moved to the parking lot as the pub closed. Police allege that Riera, who had been smoking marijuana, became "agitated" and "paranoid," believing the others were trying to con him.
Riera reportedly fired four rounds from a .45-caliber Glock at the three patrons, who fled for cover. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Riera faces multiple charges, including three counts of attempted aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, four counts of discharging a firearm in public, and one count of use of a firearm while under the influence. He is being held without bond.
Police also arrested two of the other individuals involved for obstruction or resisting arrest.
