I got jumped

[General Ludd]

What sort of ninny shoots an unarmed man without so much as a warning?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

One lacking X-Ray vision?

[Gibsie]

A murderer?

[Az]

is "Freeze or I'll shoot"/Warning shot/Stopping shot too much for you?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I have to admit that if I was to find a burglar in my house there's every chance I might batter him in blind panic.

If you try to car-jack me or break into my house and I'm home you're dead meat. It doesnt matter whether you have a gun or not.

You can't use deadly force, unless you are threatened with deadly force yourself. So, while you could shoot someone who carjacked you or broke in, if you have a reasonable suspicion that they will try to kill you, you cannot shoot a guy who is, for example, running away when he sees you have a gun.

HOWEVER, if you shoot someone that has broken into your house just because he is creeping around your house (and you don't say "I got a gun"), then you are guilty of at the very least manslaughter, but depending on what jurisdiction, probably murder

Mike, the thought of going to prison is a nightmare to me. Not because I'm worried about doing time, or the food or the lack of freedom, though these things would definately suck. The main deterrent for me is getting raped by a black gang. If that makes me a racist in your view, oh well.

I believe alot of white people feel this way. I don't believe the average black guy who is likely to go to prison feels this way. He doesn't fear rape because he is in the majority and likely is already in a gang before he went to prison. If that statement makes me racist in your view, that's life.

I believe I'm not a racist however, but a realist.

That's why you don't want to go to jail?

I don't want to go to jail because I like living in my apartment, going out to eat, going to clubs, hearing groups play, going to the park, going to school and generally hanging out with my friends.

If you're right, then it's good we have black prision gangs or there'd be more crime out there.

P.S. Would you mind being raped by a white gang?

[Gibsie]

I think he'd prefer a Filipino gang

In Lousiana (for example) I can defend myself by shooting you if I suspect that you are about the car jack me. That recent law has cut down on the number of car-jackings substantially.

If I miss you with a twelve gauge and you're running away I wont shoot again.

Guess what. If you're lying in my house dead you dont get much of a vote. You havent been in the south for long have you?

[DuncanK]

If you are going to shoot people who commit crimes against you make sure you have a second weapon that isn't registared in your name to place on the criminal. Oh, and make sure your prints aren't on it.

I personally think that laws that prevent us from shooting people who break into our homes are bull****. Breaking in peoples houses is not cool.

How naive can you be?

What?! What the hell is going on in La.? This can't be right.

How is that naive? All I ask is that the necessary precautions will be taken. If I am naive, what you're afraid of?

[Hoek]

Yo, Che, just remember

I got my twin glock .40s cocked back
Me and my homies so drop that
Sittin on 20s with the top back
So much money you can't stop that

[Gibsie]

Does it have to be a rational suspicion at least?
