Yay to shepherd-huskies!
OT: Reminded me of a 'Company benefits' tale passed on to me in Riyadh - guy conducting the seminar apparently told his audience that insurance payments would be higher for those actively on the job.....he said that, if he was to have a heart attack and die, his wife had instructions to drag him outside and toss his briefcase down the driveway......."He was on his way to work!"
win, I don't always agree with you but really what was this woman to do? 5am. Likely the family was asleep. Appears a career criminal. I think she exercised her only choice. Had she not had that gun, it could have been the family dead.
I wouldn't live in a state run by morons.
Well, if Jesus could shoot, he might shoot the intruder who was about to commit evil on an innocent family.
I can recall a quote from a film that was real funny, to me at least.
Are you speaking of the duty to retreat from the home or in public?
It's hard to imagine a duty to retreat within the home.
Right. Let him list them.
In most states, in order to justify shooting and killing an intruder, one must prove that the intruder has gained entrance to one's abode. Some police will tell those who apply for weapons permits, to be sure that if you shoot anyone on your doorstep, be certain he falls inward and not outward.
That is a basic misnomer. I am not saying it has not been told before, but it would be quite illegal to do so.
Not in NJ, it isn't, my friend.
Like I said, that may be that it was told, but not legal. First, it would be tampering with evidence. Second, is the person going to tell them they shot him in the house when he was not? Another criminal offense, falsifying evidence. The chief is not the prosecutor too.
Not to split hairs, but the prosecution would have to prove that he did not gain entrance.
Ditto. Nor would I want to be shot or stabbed. Sends shudders up my spine just thinking about it.
I believe it is both but I could be wrong.
Hah! If it comes to that, I'll do the unpleasant thing, whatever it is.
Scroll down to the green colored map of the U.S., not one state lists a duty to retreat in the home.
As far as I can find to some degree they are Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. To add: after further research the website listed below states " None of the states with a duty to retreat require that a person retreat in their own home".
