Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears is concerned with the rise of self-defense shootings

Is Mears disappointed that victims are successfully defending themselves against criminals?

WTHR 13 recently ran a piece about rise of self-defense shootings (below). The story begins with the premise of too many people owning firearms and a dispute breaks out.

Guy Relford:

Two people arguing over whatever, and somebody pulls a gun and starts shooting, that’s not self-defense. But the story from Rich Nye, he talks about somebody breaking into a guy’s home, the homeowner wrestles the gun away from the intruder, shoots the intruder. Then he talks about an abusive boyfriend is attacking a girlfriend, she defends herself, shoots him and saves her own life. And that’s in the context of them saying, “community leaders are concerned about this.”
