Thread: Home invasion

absolutely opinion and law often go in seperate directions . And yes as law abiding firearm owners we have to be very careful not to mix the two up .
But why does it seem that nowadays the criminals have more 'rights' than the victims ?
that is wrong in so many ways .

But I do wonder if the farmer will be facing firearms charges for threatening with a shotgun ....
Again in my mind that was justified - they had just beaten him and threatened to kill him ....
but does that qualify as reasonable force in the eyes of the police and judge ? And if not , why not , and then what is considered reasonable force in that situation when you have already been beaten and threatened with death ... ?

He has already plead guilty to several firearms charges (including possession of a firearm without a license).

Ok , did not realize he was not licensed .
What would the outcome be had he been licensed I still wonder ....

AS to the finger amputation , was he not lying on the knife waiting for a chance to stab the farmers , according to the news report , and as admitted in court ? Is that not why they cut the finger , for not moving his hand out from under him so visible or releasing the knife ?
So not exactly what I would call subdued if that is the case .

Unlicensed firearm owner?!? Sweet, so they can't take his FAL off him, and also he'll not do jail time.

Also, gang members wishing to do a revenge invasion can't be quite certain he hasn't rearmed.

I know, it's f*cked up to say this, but isn't it reality?
