Heads up guys, this just in from general discussion.... if you shoot an armed robber in MA, NY, NJ, MD, or CA, you will go to jail, directly to jail, not pass go, and not collect $200.
I just learned this from piccolo in the **Grocery store robber gets owned** (video) topic in general discussion. Also, be forewarned that whacking an armed robber in the head with a carpenters level will "likely" land you in jail if you live in one of the aforementioned states, according to vanilla_gorilla. Stay safe out there. If you're confronted with an armed robbery situation, please, by all means, do not attempt to defend yourselves. I wouldn't want anyone to get into trouble.

Sure, try telling that to the thousands of upstanding CA citizens in jail already for using guns and carpenters levels to defend themselves from armed robbers .  Besides, what do you know about CA law? You obviously know less than ant burners in the "free" states know.

More shocking news from that same thread!!! If you shoot an armed robber under the jurisdiction of the "9th Circus" court, you'll probably get sued by the perp's family, according to pv74 in Idaho.
 What I want to know is, which looney "9th Circus" ruling set that precedent?

Thank God there are antburners in other states out there who know CA laws better than I do!
Whew, I just locked up all of my guns by covering them with fresh concrete. That'll teach me to even dream about ever defending myself with them! |

I once saw a fight about 2 hours after a Chargers-Raiders game in San Diego evolve into 2 guys whacking at each other and their trucks with 6-8 ft carpenter's levels. My wife wouldn't let me stay and watch.

In Wacko vs. Goodguy, 2005 Cal. 123 the Ninth District Court [En Banc] ruled aluminum levels are far more dangerous than the wood ones. Especially if they are easier to puchase at trade shows. The 3 judge panel suggested the store manager get insurance and let them go as it is just a "Phase" they are going through.

Every case is different. The fact remains that one should only use deadly force when one's life is in danger. By law you can NOT use deadly force to protect your property. Otherwsie your going down for manslauder. But I still keep my 1911 by my side....

Permission from the business and/or property owner. Written, if possible.

property, that is correct.. but keep in mind either way, you get civil suited for hundreds of thousands. so , think twice, even if justifiable. |
