Read For Yourself - You Know The Answer.

Read For Yourself - You Know the Answer. Defend yourself, legally (and totally). Carry a gun, fully loaded, bullet in the chamber. Use hollow point bullets which stay inside the target, and don't cause harm to bystanders. Get trained/licensed. Be legal. Be prepared. Be safe. If someone wants to make war on you, give them war (not your blood). After one or two encounters, you'll be known as someone who can deal, and the idiots will leave you alone.

Because vigilantism solves everything.

 

What is that supposed to mean ????????? Are you equating legal self-defense with vigilantism ? Wow. You're even more mixed up than I thought.

 

I don't know where the OP lives but i don't have to carry a gun.

And I am all for the right to bear arms.

Ya start shootin people and the laws gonna get curious.

 

I think we have a Zimmerman in the making here.

 

Not in the making. I always have been a Zimmerman, and so should every other person in America. You have something against legal self-defense ? If so, why ? Are you one of the mob criminals (and think I'm out to spoil your "fun" ?)

 

I am a strong proponent of the right to keep and bear arms in accordance with a well-regulated militia. This does not mean one maintains the right to employ said arms. The 5th amendment and the 14th amendment protects such. Of course, it only safeguards this insofar as employment does not conflict with life, and that if one takes life in self-defense, they must defend their ability to do so in a court of law (due process).

 

How is this a current event?

 

FALSE! They must only defend they ability (right, actually) to do so in a court of law if the government decides there is reason to believe that the shooter did not act in self-defense. The burden of proof is on the accusers, not the self-defender. In the now infamous Zimmerman case, the government accusation is a purely political one with Gov. Rick Scott and his running dogs bathing in shame.

As for the Constitutional amendments, they don't extend to the self-defense rights - these are issues of state concealed weapons and stand your ground laws.

 

They are events that are happening currently. That was tough.

 

Sad thing is, training isn't even a requirement.

Meh.

 

If you're talking about the concealed weapon/firearm license in Florida, it certainly IS a requirement, with range trianing part of the step to getting the license (except for military and law enforcement veterans-who are already trained.)

 

Here in Colorado all is required is a short class.

No range time.
No weapons proficiency.
No requirement for passable accuracy.
