Castle Doctrine


"Castle laws" remove the duty to retreat before using deadly force when one is in their home or in some U.S. states just simply where one can legally be.[6]

Castle Doctrine

AKA

The Missouri Rule

There's a lot of that article you left out.

Honestly, it doesn't add much to the conversation and doesn't really deserve much of a response. Would that suck? Sure. Is that likely to happen? Not a chance.

My points in this thread have never been that it wouldn't suck balls to have someone break into your house, and I've acknowledged that having a gun around will likely make you feel more at peace about it. My point is just about playing the odds of survival in your favor based on what typically happens in the world.

As for your specific scenario, it would suck to be anally raped by a gorilla too, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start putting out gorilla traps around my house.

Get a gun, you won't have to

ROFL...touché.

Dude, in this day and age you would most likely face the death penalty for killing a gorilla. I'll shoot a home invader and feel decent about my chances of being cleared of wrong doing. An endangered species though? He/she can have the run of the house. Otherwise I am most certainly a dead man.

The last thing I would hate to read about is that scenario.. Odds are low I agree but with all the gang shit going on in the world, crime and seemingly desperate times for more and more every day, I don't take anything for granted.. I sit at my computer with a .45 and nothing has happened in this neighborhood except a couple kids broke into some cars and stole a gps from me...

I may be a bit paranoid to some but I just don't trust this world anymore

And that's certainly your right. It's not a mentality I think I would enjoy living with, which is probably why I have such a different approach to the home safety stuff, but different people think differently, and that's OK. :grouphug:

Not if the Gorilla enjoyed it...
