All castle doctrine states still require the home owner to measure his response stating that the force being used must be reasonable and proportionate. But I guess if you kill the guy you can say whatever you want.Quote:

Well as long as you practice, so it's not a big shock to pull the trigger and to hear that load BANG, but most importantly to hit what you're aiming.Quote:

I'm convinced that a projectile shot out of a firearm is less harmful that your bitter scorn and contempt when someone dare hold a different opinion than you. And you'll just get worse as your opinions are viewed as marginal by most. You can't just say you're against firearms, you have to insult everyone that happens to disagree with some childish penis reference. That's your pompous style....you do it on every issue from global warming to tax policy. You think you're the single smartest person in the room, and all we have to do is ask you.....you'll be sure to tell us. How could so many just not see it Trish's way? :dancing:
Lock and Load Trish !!!!!!
Fuck a gun! Imma buy me a super soaker, fill that sumbitch up with mercury, and squirt the first dude who tries to break into my house, then watch his ass slowly die on his way to the getaway car
Seriously? Bullets aren't as bad as insults? Isn't that carrying the NRA's doctrine just a little too far?Quote:

While there is a few limitations to our Castle Doctrine, I have the right to stand my ground. I don't have to retreat to the farthest corner of my house and then anounce that I might shoot. Also, we have a very broad definition of what buildings are included in the doctrine (it includes RVs and tents).Quote:

I carry a deadly weapon every day. It's why I got my CCW (concealed carry).:kiss:Quote:

I take it you have never been hunting RL?
It used to be the case that people who carried guns weren't ashamed carry them out in the open. Now they're all concealed. What's up with that?

That's insane!!!!
Unless the five-n-dime is middle of a bear-infested honey patch, why are you carrying a gun in the middle day? Is your C&C weapon a handgun or a hunting rifle (for our readers in the UK)?
I'm not judging or even criticizing, I just want to get a handle on the thought process.
You can still open carry but you have to get licensed for that depending on where you live. Maryland does not differentiate between concealed and open carry.Quote:

I had no idea MD sold CCW permits. I grew up in that state (DC Metro)Quote:

It's less than 2% btw.
I've been out stalking deer, but only with the intention of getting close to these magnificent creatures in their ideal environment. The idea of killing them is abhorrent.

Owning a gun just makes u feel protected from criminals
I'm not a cop so there are some restrictions but it does come to store with me. I only have it with me at my sons school if I'm dropping him of on the way to work, even then I would never take it inside that would be terribly irresponsible.Quote:

I understand we, as Americans, have the right to arm ourselves without needing a reason, so we are all within our rights to have one. But I'm questioning the necessity.
Can you give me an example where you were fortunate to have a gun on you? Again, I'm not judging....
According to the NRA there are over 250m guns in private ownership in the US. And when I see in this thread the sort of weaponry that can be bought freely over the counter and then fetishised by posters here it really makes me shake my head.Quote:

Well in the middle of the night while i was outside smoking. I heard her yelling for someone to call the police. I left my fenced in backyard and looked around the corner and saw her getting the shit beat out of her in her own frontyard by her daughter and son in law as they tried to take the kid. I called the cops and ran over there with my hand on my gun and told them to stop because I had called the cops and I have a gun. I didn't pull it out but them knowing I had it probably saved that woman's life and stopped them from leaving till the cops got there.Quote:

I could be wrong, I dont care too much because I already said I'm not a gun dude, but last I heard that was true
You don't need a license to own a handgun either just to carry it outside your home. All firearms do have to be registered and there is a waiting period and background check. You will never see a legal firearm that can't be traced back to it's owner and believe me they know exactly who has the .50 cals.Quote:
