[QUOTE=SFC3;36720272]I wouldn't let anyone take my prized possessions without a fight. That is a stupid thing to say.

More like "take my computer, it's not worth getting into a gunfight over that could result in multiple deaths"

[QUOTE=ZF911;36720291]Why would you recommend letting them walk away? Not only is robbery illegal, it's my stuff.[/QUOTE]

call the police

You do know that the robber would be long gone before police ever got to my house. I know the laws in my state, I can defend my property.

The police don't get there in a snap of the finger. Sometimes you need to take matters into your own hands. Where I live, if they come in your house, you can shoot them.

[QUOTE]Claudia Hidic, 17, was found dead near the back door of a man's home in the Tanglewood neighborhood of Fort Worth on June 28, her body face down, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The back door had also been kicked in.[/QUOTE]

I would have shot her too.

Also I'm going to buy one of these soon for the express purpose of home defense.

I like the law, there'd be a hell of a lot less crime if you knew you were going to get shot if you were putting someone else in danger.

maybe, maybe not. generally if you're at the point where you're considering burglary you either don't think very far ahead, or you really want your victim's stuff.

Not really, they're cheaper than Mini-14s last time I checked google before they banned all gun results.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;36720097]Fucking this? 'Stand Your Ground' holds no relevance to this at all.. Death was ruled a homicide anyway.

[editline]11th July 2012[/editline]

hooooo 17 pages[/QUOTE]

You dumbass, 'homicide' holds no legal relevance what so ever, all it means is it's literal latin meaning, a human killing another human.

It bares no correlation what so ever to it being ether 2nd Degree Murder or Justifiable Homocide.

Cops flat out told me last week to buy a 'big' shotgun for behind the counter and to shoot the next robbers and I quote 'in the back' when they're running out the door after I was robbed at gunpoint at my job.

God bless Texas.

[QUOTE=IdiotStorm;36716143]love how the article focuses on her being hot, as if that even matters whatsoever[/QUOTE]

Shit I skipped a beat when I saw the picture, she is indeed hot, but I can't help to think that its an assload of make up and nice hair.

It was done to give more impact to the whole thing.
Funny how she was a criminal though.

What are you implying, am I a crazed gunman vigilante or something? I'm not Max Payne, I'm not out for revenge. I'll protect my home and my stuff if I want to, even if that means taking lethal action.

[Broseph_]

[QUOTE=Lankist;36719055]But don't bitch when you go to prison for killing an unarmed man.[/QUOTE]

Good thing Texas law makes considers all men equal, including unarmed ones.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;36720557]Not really, they're cheaper than Mini-14s last time I checked google before they banned all gun results.[/QUOTE]

Aren't those still like $600? Why not just a handgun?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;36716251]my engineering teacher said he kept guns in places that no one would know
for instance, in a box of cereal
or in a salad bowl

It is considering I'll get seriously injured if I try to get into a melee with half the thieves that steal from my store.

hey dude if somebody steals a candy bar from your store and your first thought is to grab a shotgun and end their life you have some serious issues which you need to get worked out a.s.a.p.

I don't think he's talking about candy bars

[Dori]

[QUOTE=Cone;36720778]I don't think he's talking about candy bars[/QUOTE]

the value of the item is pretty much irrelevant

[ramkeham]

Came in expecting that she was a victim, what a bitch.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;36720485]

You're going to buy a gun that's too big to carry around a house. And also chambered in a bullet that will probably go through all the walls in your house?

Except for the fact the last person who stole from my store took only 5 seconds to grab $300 of merchandise before bolting, and the guy before him got away with $2,500 worth of merchandise.

BTW the cheapest item we sale is $12.99.

That's Ignoring the fact it was the responding Police Officers who told me to shoot them in the back next time, which I honestly thought was stupid because if I miss them that sends buckshot across the interstate and frontage road in front of the store.

I would rather use hollow point .357 magnum anyway.

So how do I have a serious issues?
