Should we tell them that Castle Doctrine was defined by Sir Edward Coke, in his The Institutes of the Laws of England, 1628? The NRA came to be a couple of centuries later and unless Wayne LaPierre got his hands on Doc Brown’s DeLorean and pulled a Back To The Future, I really don’t see how the “gun lobby” had anything to do with its creation.
But Lies is about the only message Shannon and Co. can put out for her followers and the loyal media lapdogs.
PS: RULE FOUR states that you should make sure of your target and what’s behind it. An innocent woman is dead because of that brutal violation. Get a light for your night weapon and challenge verbally and loudly.
p.p.s., in addition to the four rules, I would bear in mind Andrew Branca’s point that Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground laws do not remove other requirements of the use of lethal force in self defense (Innocence, Imminence, Proportionality, Reasonableness). Depending on the circumstances, it sounds like this guy failed on a couple of these principles, raising the possibility that he maybe didn’t like his wife so much.
Rule 6: Don’t sneak into your own house.
Also true. Announce yourself. Let them be pissed because you woke them up and nor sorry because you did not and are now laying in the morgue.
I’m getting to the point where I don’t get involved in arguments that the hoplophobic Left tries to make about “innocent people” getting “killed by guns”. They will not listen to reason anyway.
So, I’ve had it. In the words of Al Gore, “the debate is over.” I will not give up my right to keep and bear arms. Not one inch more. I’m getting old, and I’ve lived a good life, but I want my grandchildren to be free. If they want to start a civil war with gun confiscation, I’ll be their huckleberry, and I think millions more will join me. I think a B-class USPSA shooter and trained Appleseed Rifleman can take a few out before they get me.
BYA brother. My G-kids are 3,5 and 7 and I want this mess cleared up before they know what’s going on. Huckleberry it is.
The way it sounds to me it wasn’t a mistake but a chance to do it legally.You don’t break that many rules of safety on accident.It just goes to show you the anti’s will try and take advantage of any situation to meet their agenda.That is to disarm the innocent and make it easier for the criminals to be in control all in the name of caring.
