If an armed asshat is that bold enough to rob or threaten you, then they are willing to kill you for whatever it is they're after or to make a point (gang initiation).Riiiiight.....As long as you shoot below the knees you can't get atempet murder charges.....Boy, we sure have a blood thirsty bunch here huh? I wonder if the 'shooters' have any threshold for shooting, is it the value of the property taken or just the fact that some thief had the audacity to steal something from them no matter what its valued at?
If its at night and some knucklehead breaks into my house, I'll be dayum if I'm going to ask the intruder if they're armed with a weapon or if he wants a glass of Kool Aid. As soon as he heres the dawg pound barking or my feet hit the floor his azz better be long gone.
Live by the sword and expect to die by it.
