Intruder shot, killed after kicking in door, charging occupant with a knife

[McDad]

Nerf and water would be my top two, but my son also has a couple of bad ass air soft guns.

missed a great opportunity to flex your biceps and say, "My favorite guns are these bad mfers".

That man needs to see a vet, his pythons are sick.

Yay. Nice work. Happy for you.

How about we don't.
Maybe it's Heller that needs some redefining.
I'll continue to say that society has the right to place rational and reasonable limits on the types of "arms" that people can openly carry or even own.

I dont see the military going around planting abunch of "radiation stay out" signs al over the place for however long it takes.

Would you walk in a space that is clearly marked as a radiation hazard? It might be a bluff; and then again it might not be. Mines would theoretically accomplish the same and be more environmentally friendly, though.

seems like 1 would get the job done.

We dont own 20 hammers. Just 1 when we need to do some pounding.

Or 20 broom & dust pans. We dont own 20 of them either, just 2, 1 for sweeping the kitchen and the other I use for flying around at night

What serves your needs doesn't serve everyone else's.

I own at least 14 hammers. Two full sledge's a mini sledge, a roofing hammer a number of regular carpenters hammers etc. I use them from time to time on my farm.

Your needs don't dictate the needs of others.

 

[hndog609]

cool. I wasn't advocating for more laws. I was simply expressing my misunderstanding about why someone would ever 'need' 20 guns. I still don't think its ever a need, but rather a want. And thats fine, do what you want.

...again, if you aren't a felon anyway

Setting aside need having any actual relevance with ownership in the first place the misunderstanding is somewhat understandable given sufficient ignorance. (not a dig by the way...you don't know what you don't know)

If literally all you do is one specific task then a single X could be at least sufficient even if less than ideal. Now having said that surely you're familiar with the phrase "right tool for the job", yes? It's been touched on but a sledge is a poor choice to drive a tack and a tack hammer useless for most any task one would use a sledge. Different firearms have different characteristics for different purpose. A number of firearms can be justified by nothing more than different purposes and divided even more when bringing in the "best tool for the job" aspect.

I like the part where good triumphed over evil. Luther’s tangent was a close second.

 

[luthervol]

I don't mean to hurt. I'm sorry, baby. I still love, you.

I'll eventually be able to shake it off.

But seriously, I am constantly being wrongfully accused of wanting to take away all guns. That's an absurd accusation and I was seriously stating that I was in full support of the lady and her right to defend herself and her home with a gun and evidently that was just to much for some to handle.

 

[luthervol]

Except she would have been stabbed while going to the safe, getting out the musket balls, the powder, the patches, loading the musket.......you see how this goes. You don't fervently support anything that shoots more than once per manual reload.

I have never once said that.

Edit........See how common those wrongful accusations are???????

Disingenuous: You want to enact more legislation that would effectively accomplish the same thing.

 

[luthervol]

No, I don't.

That was for Hog and sadly he didn't take the bait. I guess he's been hooked one to many times.

But yes, you do too, you just don't realize it.

 

[KB5252]

It's a good thing this woman wasn't a cop. Otherwise it's obvious he was just going to show her this knife and the proper way to safely handle it. And even if he was upset there was a time when husbands and wives could have knife fights and it wasn't the police's business. They have no business getting involved in a good old fashioned stabbing.

Actually, no I don't. But I can draw triangles too looth and we know how that one turned out.

You're still smarting over that one?

We should go back and dig it up some day when the PF is boring.

[InVOLuntary]

So? And?

Your post got some likes and it got a question. The answer and the way you carefully constructed the answer is what got the bees-a-buzzin.

You know it. I know it. Bob Dole knows it.

Yes, his post specifically said "in the home". Clarification was justified.

 

[evillawyer]

At least he won't be needing anger management classes anymore.

Sounds like his ex found a permanent way to manage his anger.

 

[McDad]

Agreed.

C'mon, Teddy Brosevelt. You know what you're doing with the prep phrases, qualifiers, and such.

And, I acknowledge it is good fodder for a lively discussion board. You're not some naive, johnny come lately who came lately with naivete.

 

[luthervol]

Here it is.....

Personally I'm glad she had a gun in her house and was able to defend herself. That's precisely why I so fervently support the right of gun ownership for home defense and protection.

 

[McDad]

So we can all enjoy the even greater right of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

This is another quote which is absurd, superficial, and preposterous.

Someone carrying a firearm, especially a concealed firearm, does nothing to limit or diminish the rights of L,L, and PoH of other people. They don't do it physically because the weapon is concealed. They don't do it through intimidation because the weapon is concealed. Would we say a political speech (protected by free speech) written on a piece of paper and carried in a backpack limits the rights of L,L, and PoH of others? Of course not.

All true............that's the only part of it that's kind of enjoyable.

But the point remains and it is a point that is continually misrepresented by others.

I in no way support the banning or confiscation of all guns.
I have always been a strong proponent of a person's right to own a gun for protection, hunting, recreation, and/or collection.
But I have also always been for rational and reasonable regulations and controls.
There is no contradiction with those 3 positions.
