Unlike some states like Texas where one can defend their property with lethal force, and Florida with the "Stand Your Ground" laws, we're supposed to run away and hide. Great example how asinine it is and it's still a problem: about 6 years ago, a guy broke into a person's home with the owner there. Owner calls 911 after seeing the guy has a knife. One of those good hunting knives, not a little switch blade. He runs into the bedroom to be safe and potentially arm himself Intruder hears him and tries to break down the door. Meanwhile, owner is panicking, begins loading his shotgun. Intruder broke through and charges. Owner never got a shot off. He just issues a quick buttstroke with the shotgun and breaks the guy's nose and cheek bone. Problems solved! No? No. The DA charges the homeowner too with assault and few other charges, including intent on using a deadly weapon. He eventually dropped them all due to public backlash. That's how screwed up it is here, and that's before the bail reform act ... Copied to Clipboard! |
