A new slant on the "stand your ground" thing

Even if he is not prosecuted, that SOB will have to live the rest of his life knowing he gunned down Grandpa...
People are such idiots. I believe this is just the natural fallout of all the hyperbole spread by the gun-nut crowd. They speak so loudly and with such conviction about our right to defend ourselves with deadly force, that many people are forgetting to apply common sense to determining when that use of force is warranted. The default seems to be more often, 'the law says I can, so I will' without regard for whether they should.... When I first glanced at the thread title, my mind immediately jumped to 'New slant... 6 engine....' wish there was. Loved the old slant 6.

Who was taking care of the old guy? Hard to call this one.
Idiotic mistakes are not connected to any hyperbole. The left will try to force any connection they can. |

As to cops, they are after the fact and only good for writing up reports so you can claim insurance. Hell, people have reported things and cops are too tied up to bother. I have had to practically hand them a suspect before they charged him. I had to do all the leg work while they said "Well, we probably can't find him, yada, yada, yada.". Had it happen where we called the cops and told them that someone was breaking into a car in the parking lot and they didn't want to bother.

Why? If the guy was advancing towards him after he tried to chase him off, it is looking good. OTOH, if the guy was walking away from his door and was shot in the back, not so good.

Stand your ground laws are fantastic, the media portrays them poorly because they have an agenda.
They prevent you from going to jail or having to lose your house and rights to fight a several year long court case, if say you gunned down a robber who was trying to get into your kids room. Of if your at a gas station and someone tries to jack your car with a toddler in the back seat... Many people who have had a legitimate DGU have lost just about everything in states without stand your ground laws and DA's that hate gun owners. Like any law they can be abused, but that doesn't mean they don't serve a legitimate purpose. Although I think cases of abuse are exceedingly rare.

Right. Is someone merely being in your yard (as opposed to trying to break into your house) good enough cause to shoot at them? What if it were a healthy person who didn't understand English but was seeking help, or someone running from an assault?

Sad story. Poorly attended dementia patient meets bubba with an itchy booger hook.

Neither of your examples have anything to do with the SYG laws. They are covered by the Castle doctrine. SYG has to do with being out in a public place. Such as being in a park where you see a gun man in the distance. With SYG you can stand your ground and kill the person instead of turning and seeking cover or leavjng the area.
