somebody just tried to break into my house

[Glides]

When he reached behind him, you should have put one in him. SERIOUSLY - he coulda definitely dropped a few in you man. THA F*CK are people thinkin.

Is that ladder always there, or did he move it to get it up to the window??

Yea, he should have shot a man on a ladder in his back yard. Then he could have gone to jail and gotten sued.

If you shoot someone you had better damm well kill em. And you had better do it INSIDE your house. Do it outside and any cop in the land will tell you, you will get ****ed. If you just shoot em and don't kill em, our superstart justice system will allow them to take all your ****, the very same stuff you shot them to try and defend.

Sorry buddy, the "Wild West" way of thinking just don't cut it no more.

With the passing of the "stand your ground" law passed a couple of years ago, the "Wild West way of thinking" does cut it. But only in certain situations. This would NOT be that situation. Later, QD.

You are correct. I wasn't aware of that law. Interesting.

Yes and no. Georgia has a "Stand your ground" (both in public and private) law now to go along with the Castle Doctrine.

i would have shot his @ss while he was runnin.

You had better hope he was running towards you, because if he was running away and you shot him, then you'd be the one going to jail.

It's funny to read all the posts where someone would've actually shot the dude. Later, QD.

In many states you are required to flee a confrontation. And you can only use deadly force if you are basically trapped in a alley with 20ft walls on all three sides and the person after you has a gun that you can clearly see is a weapon and not a fake gun before you can return deadly fire via firearm, knife, Bow&Arrow(wouldn't that be funny. He'd be telling his friends he robbed Robin Hood and he shot his ass with an arrow.), etc.

From what a cop told me this is what "Stand your Ground" means. Now it doesn't mean if someone tells you to F-off and they are walking towards you that you can shoot them. But say you get at a confrontation at a Redlight. Guy gets out with a Baseball bat and comes towards you. You pull a gun and point it at him. If he stops then you can't shoot him. But if he continues you can shoot him dead right there.

Not sure how accurate that is but that is what a cop told me.

I wouldn't go on the word of any policeman when it comes to most unconventional laws. As odd as it sounds, these guys don't know the complete laws themselves. You'd be best to look up the codes yourself and talking with higher ups than your beat officers. Later, QD.

True. He admitted he wasn't too sure on it. I figured if a shooting did occure they'd arrest or atleast take the shooter into custody and let the lawyers and judges work it out.

Unfortunately many of these laws are too vague. And often times it's left up to lawyers, judges, and worste of all idiot jury members to figure crap out. I've read through some but I think I'd need to higher a lawyer just to explain it to me and even then lawyers aren't infallible.

I say a general rule wether you are right or wrong is do what it takes to survive. Even if you spend time in jail it's better than dead.
