damn d-boys

That just will never happen. I have an untarnished history and reputation (not ONE moving or parking violation in my entire life, no arrests, nada), I am known in my community and no one is going to question my judgment in a situation like this. I have way too many supporters to ever have this happen. And let be even more clear on this: I have many attorney's as friends and can afford to hire the best in my defense. I will never let a "punk" or criminal ruin my life. It won't happen.

 

Shells loaded with rocksalt. PERIOD. They will never be back.

 

That's a pretty naive statement; I can tell you have not spent much time around the judicial system. Ask Harold Fish how well that works out. Retired school teacher and father of seven, well known and respected in the community, he has spent over half a million dollars on a defense for what ultimately was proven to be a justifiable, self defense homicide. He did the right thing, but made some mistakes, some of the same kind of stuff being thrown around here. Ask your lawyer friends about state's attorney's offices railroading folks for publicity. Having lawyers for friends is like having doctors for friends, they can only do so much for you after you have made a mistake.

 

Each to his own opinion.

 

whoa whoa. Fellas. I appreciate the passionate argument, but I think I was misunderstood. The whole gun thing was a joke. A bad one, but I was not serious about shooting them. I was however gonna grab my baseball bat for my safety in case they pulled a knife or something. Killing someone over something that insurance will reimbuse me for is not worth it. Just wanna get that out there.

 

You don't have to kill them. Just scare the shot outa them.

 

I was thinking about getting a tranquilizer gun. Either that or a 12 guage.

 

over here thats called steezy kids... ******s

 

a paintball gun and some fluorescent orange paint

 

just nut in some water balloons, fill them up with water and throw them at the fruit cakes

 

That's actually a good idea.....the paint should easily wash off the truck too.

 

I don't doubt that your last statement is true, b/c I believe that you wouldn't just shoot somebody for the hell of it. But if you were to do so, I don't think your good reputation, perfect record, attorney friends or money would keep you out of trouble.

 

+1 I got two pistol grip Mossberg 500 defenders scattered around my place. Both loaded with 3 inch #4 steel shot. Snake shot would be a joke for home security, in my opinion.

Joe Horn did it, so can I.

 

I respect a LEO's opinion... Say this happens and I have a gun in the house and can easily grab it as I run down the stairs and outside. What should I do?

I know I don't just start waiving it around or pointing it at anybody, but I also want them to know it's there... and I want to have it ready to go if needed. Knowing the law, but assuming you weren't a cop, what would you do?

 

I don't know what state your in but in Texas even your neighbors will kill for you & you can get away with it. See link below. Joe Horn 911 call. 8 minutes long but worth it!

And story of the verdict in court from a grand jury.

You can guess the Latina community had a fit, oh well........

 

if your a good shot, maybe a high powered bb gun, or just put some strategically placed straight razors under the door handles and wash the bllod off the next day...motion sensor lights are a good deterent as well. just dont forget to remove the razors when you go to open the doors.

 

This is very interesting. I think this:

Live honestly and you won't get shot by someone protecting their neighbour's property. Do as you wish to be done by and all will be well. Just remember that if you do wrong by someone, you will get what you deserve at some point. For the low-life thieves that were shot, their just desert was received (appropriately) quickly.

Joe Horn seems to regret what happened, even though he was not charged. Depsite the fact that he protected his neighbour's property - neighbours who he deoesn't really know that well - he has to live with his actions for the rest of his life. Personally, I think he was justified. But that's just me. If the law dealt with people like that more seriously then it wouldn't be left for so-called "vigilantes" like Horn to put and end to their dishonesty. Like I said... I have no time for thieves such as these.
