" Try for the two on the right. Go for them dead-center! That way if you miss a little, you'll still hit something." Robert Redford to Paul … moreNewman in a standoff with a Bolivian gang, from 1968 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Shooting a gun out of a person's hand, like a lot of movies show, is impossible.
When fired upon, police and soldiers alike are trained to "shoot to kill."
So if Luke shot to wound somebody, that idea would more than likely backfire.
From what I've seen of Luke, he would have a hard time killing someone, and would feel bad about it afterward.
For human beings in general, taking a life, whether human or animal, is hard to do.
My uncle, who was in the Vietnam war from 1970-1971, which was the most violent time during that whole conflict, can testify to that personally.
Even though my uncle lives on a farm, when it comes time to shoot a fatally injured or deathly sick animal, he said it's still hard for … [view original content]
As far as we know, Luke is no where near on the edge of losing it, but what if he's just so well at hiding it? You all know that Nick is determinate and he'll eventually die. Nick being the only thing left for Luke, will it push him to the edge and make him snap at every little thing like Kenny did?
"When things get taken away, people do crazy shit." - Lee.
If Nick died, how would he feel? And considering that in your gameplay, he might already be dead, maybe he's just a ticking timebomb.
He seemed liked he was willing to kill troy when he went to pick up that gun.
I think Luke is willing to kill but maybe more as a last resort or when he gets too pissed off.
How death can change people in different ways. The thing about the prison warden got me a lot though even just the farm stuff, I don't think I could ever shoot a sickly animal.
Here's a question for you, out of you own opinion I kinda want to know. Do you think Luke could've killed in the past?
That's a good question.
Lee did, and yet when when Carly questions him about the incident with the state senator who was sleeping with Lee's wife, Lee can reply, "It was an accident! I pretty much knew about the affair. Sometimes I wonder if I should talk to the group about it."
That shows that Lee can express regret over his actions.
And when Danny St. John shot Jolene, Lee could reply in shock, "You straight up murdered that woman."
That indicates that even though Lee has committed murder, that doesn't mean he's that way from the heart, by the fact that he's horrified by it.
And, the player basically has the option of taking Lee, who committed a terrible crime, and yet having him be a good man.
Whether or not Luke actually killed someone in the past or not, is all conjecture really.
Unless the writers decide to have that be a part of his history, and something that he actually shares with the group, nothing that is said here, will prove he did or did not.
However here are some possible scenarios...
Perhaps while he was out with Carver, before he and the others fled the 1st time, maybe Luke, Carver, and a few others came across an innocent group of people, and Carver savagely butchered them.
As a result, Luke feels guilty that he's was apart of the group that commited the slaughter, even though Luke did not personally kill anyone.
Guilty by association.
Or perhaps he inadvertently got an innocent person killed.
And as a result, he's guilt-stricken about the incident.
And rightly so!
And perhaps that's why he seems to be hiding something about his past.

I really liked reading that, you made a lot of good points
Well, I do have ONE sort of theory.

I don't think he was actually going to kill him, but make him drop his weapon and tell him to fuck off.
Well thank you.
If I may, which points stood out to you the most?
Just curious.

Anything is possible at this point.
That's a good question.
