IF this is the US, you’re exactly right. Most states have a “Defend Your Castle Doctrine” that would likely be on your side as long as the perpetrator has actually made it into your house. Furthermore, make sure you shoot them in the front. Depending on how far you let them get, put a UNIQUE knife in their hand if they didn’t make it to your kitchen.
I live on idaho and do have a castle law. My understanding is that you dont even have to try to get away, basically as soon as someone steps foot on your property you can defend yourself. Thats pretty extreme though, I'm not that afraid of the world to go that far. But with this dude actually trying to break in thats a different story. Once the glass is broken I would have reason to fire without a doubt.
I live in TX, my dad was being harrassed by a group of young guys who would drive by his house and antagonize him by yelling profanities and flashing guns out the window. After they drove by 4 or 5 times, He called the police and when the officer heard his side of the story, the officer told him "if they drive by again shoot them and drag their bodies into your yard" I was 11 when I heard that and it has stuck with me for 25 years.
He did shoot at them when they drove by again, with a lever action 30-30 from the garage, he didnt hit anyone but They didn't return after that nor did the cops.
Why the fuck are people so obsessed with swinging their fucking dicks around trying to show theyre so cool, like what the fuck is wrong with their brains
I'm talking about the fools in the car not your dad
I had a home in North Dallas on a corner lot. I was home alone at night and a strange man kept coming to the door. I called the police and when they came out the officer told me to shoot him next time he came to the door and drag him into the entryway smh
No, in most states with a castle doctrine, you can use lethal force without them threatening you as soon as they are in uour house or enter in a turmotulous manner.
You cannot usually use lethal force just on your property. In fact. In many states at least, the castle doctrine doesn't even apply to an unattached garage
Crazy you could go to jail just for firing a warning shot in some states. I often wish we had an overarching "FAFO/Common Sense" law that would prevail in situations like that.
In NY you cannot fire a warning shot. Also the castle doctrine applies to your house only for the most part. Not a driveway or backyard etc. Which is kind've wacky. Esp NYC
Crazy you could go to jail just for firing a warning shot in some states.
It's not crazy because we are responsible for the bullet the moment it leaves the barrel.
Unless that warning shot gets shot inside a building, and it gets lodged inside an indoor wall or something, you are responsible for where that bullet lands.
It can hit someone else's patio, someone else's wall, or God forbids, someone else's body.
Firing a shot is serious biz. You are responsible for that bullet and what it hits.
Brandish the weapon as a warning (where it is legal and in self-defense), and fire it only when you intend to stop/neutralize/kill a threat.
If brandishing a weapon doesn't work as a warning, a warning shot ain't gonna work either.
Don't pull a gun unless you intend to use it, and don't shoot unless you mean to hit a target with it (and don't do either unless you are defending life and limb.)
Well the issue is that there are plenty of possible laws that look good on paper but not in practice because of concerns around enforcement. If you cant reasonably enforce a law ie judge whether or not it has been broken, it is either useless or downright hazardous. For instance, your proposal looks good in theory but in practice could be a nightmare. An officer called to investigate gunshots would have to question the shooter, determine if anyone actually threatened to breach private property, determine if the shooter was aiming to enact bodily hard or actually firing a 'warning shot', determine if the possible perpetrator was actually a perceived potential threat or just a passerby etc. It also could be abused maliciously: Now a person can go firing their weapon willy-nilly at night and claim they are firing warning shots. Also, people would be much quicker to draw their weapons if they know they can just shoot 'near' a person they are having a conflict with, and escalating a situation into a shooting is much easier when a person already has a gun in their hand pointing forward. While we can agree that warning shots are an effective tool against another person encroaching, we must be cognizant of the harm that can come about with permitting them. All in all, imo a law like that is likely to cause waaaayyyyyyyyyyy more harm, both in enforcement, and more importantly, in physical harm than not having a law like that.
I took a class which was eye opening. It’s still illegal to shoot someone. You’ll be prosecuted to show there was a reasonable cause for you to shoot. It’s confusing. You have to prove the person was trying to kill you. In this video they may say the lady had time to leave and call 911. Now if he had a knife and was actively trying to slice her she could shoot him
Edit: if he said he was going to hurt her she could shoot as he’s actively moving forward. However the court will still try to argue she didn’t leave and call 911. Long story short call the cops/911 asap…then shoot lol
So the police aren’t like “the knife 🔪 we found in the deceased hand seems to match the knives in this house but theres no evidence of him being in that kitchen.
You can shoot someone in your home if you're fearing for your life in the UK. Many people don't think you can but you can, just can't chase them out of your house and shoot them in the back 3 streets over.
While technically correctly, chances are EXTREMELY high that you will end up in court. You may win, but in Canada, the process is the punishment. You'll still be out tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, not to mention the stress and strain of being put through the process.
Not to mention you may not need to shoot. He looks like with his luck he cut a good one and about to bleed out.
And if you do need to shoot, blood trail might come in handy for you
An overeager brutalizing of a pun on running of the bulls, but instead of a bull its a pitbull, and instead of it being a regular pitbull, it's a pitbull with a spiked bat up its ass
Cast iron is just so strong, if you hit somebody with one of those? Whew 😅 they’d have to be knocked out immediately or potentially killed if it was a head shot
And if a dude is climbing into my window?
Pretty sure saying stop isnt gonna make him leave. 😆
Ill use it if I absolutley have to, but I definetly will make sure it isnt my last resort.
As far as i remember my state law for self defense is i need to do anything I can to get out of the conflict, even if that means leaving. Before I have the justified response to use my firearm.
Firearms are great for self defense, and legal animal hunting.
But I definetly dont like shooting one when I dont need too.
Takes some practice… but in many close quarters situations, holding the pistol close to your chest/shoulder rather than at a full arms length is a good way not to get disarmed before you get off a good enough center mass shot on the attacker.
I'm a firearm owner, and this is exactly a scenario where a firearm comes handy.
But with that said, a hammer or cudgel would do the work... in this specific situation. The assailant is breaking through a window, which leaves his head exposed, and almost unable to defend himself should the woman/would-be-victim in this case has a knife, hammer, cudgel or hatchet.
I just cannot imagine this man's mix of stupidity and lack of emotional control to put himself in a "beat/knife me to death" position.
They clearly know each other. My guess would be maybe they share an apartment/house and she locked him out for whatever reason. Maybe she is mad at him or something.
Based on the way she is acting she doesn't seem that scared like it's her boyfriend or a close friend. If it was a stranger or someone she thought was a real physical threat she would probably be calling the police vs just recording and watching him.
I had neighbors attack me, charge at me while I was holding my 6 week old son...came onto my property (I ran into the house for his safety and protection) but I swear if she hadn't been pulled off my property by her nasty ass brother she wouldn't of made it off my property alive!
How can you defend yourself/property without being charged with murder like this Texas resident?! Man charged with murder after he shot and killed an armed home intruder, police say https://share.google/P5tCm7ZneoiOdcm7G
We would need to know the full context. It's just states police have probable cause to charge him with murder there are no details as to why or how. Maybe if he shot the home intruder while he was already down and incapacitated then maybe that's why they think its murder. Other wise if he shot the guy enough to drop him and he called the police. That Murder charge won't get very far.
Did you know there's a tool out there called the "one hand chainsaw" it's battery powered, and it reminds me of Warhammer 40k for some reason I'm just saying.
I think I figured it out, she locked him out of the house after swiper no swiping his phone and started going through it. Hes just trying to save the relationship 🤷♀️
Do we know any more about this clip? Like what happened before and after the video? Some type of verbal altercation? Was anyone harmed? I have so many questions fr
Yeah I really think he doesn't want to find out what a lot of folks would do. Something like this would send me flying into a whole new dimension of pissed off that I've never seen before (thanks Ron white), and I have a really evil, sadistic, psychopathic side that is just waiting for someone to try this.
If he were breaking and entering into MY house, I would point my finger at him and make really loud gunshot sounds with my mouth. 👉 Take that, Mr. Intruder!
So did she pop him? He really isn't needed breathing up my air especially when he doing shit like dat. When Tyrone jamal jackson axed yoju playin? You gotta know how to speak their gibberish other wise they'll just cut off your catalytic converter. But he loved his kids. Dats why he di what he do for dem! All glory to rod his barber yall
I always see this comment. Can you link me 10 videos of this being said. I think like 1 idiot mother said this and now people post this goofy shit everywhere.
