Re: CO: Armed passerby holds attacker with knife for police
So, once again, a legally armed citizen draws his gun and is not shot by the police when they arrive. Seems like a trend.ELB wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 9:41 am https://kdvr.com/2018/08/20/man-with-kn ... ter-crash/

Funny, when I first read the subject I thought it would be a story about the passerby using a knife to hold the attacker.

Re: CO: Armed passerby holds attacker with knife for police
No doubt the headline is ambiguous, as many headlines are. As a lawyer, I've spent a lot of time and effort so that my contracts could not be misunderstood. The complete realization of that goal remains aspirational.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 2:14 pm Funny, when I first read the subject I thought it would be a story about the passerby using a knife to hold the attacker.

Re: CO: Armed passerby holds attacker with knife for police
Adjectives modify the nouns they are closest to.
“Armed” modifies “passerby”.
“With knife” modifies “attacker”.
“Armed passerby with knife” would mean the passerby had a knife. But he didn’t, the attacker did, so the attacker is “with knife.”

I've negotiated billions in commercial contracts. I agree with you about ridding documents of ambiguity being "aspirational" KLB.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!
