New TN Bill will allow you to kill robbers

I wonder, currently does anyone in the heat of the moment choose to withhold fire because they are considering state law? If not, I can't imagine this opening up a wild west situation. In fact, I think little would change except for prosecuting the shooter after the fact.

Police are allowing to be assaulted to keep from shooting the assailant.

Is that a clip from a movie?
 
I don't really agree with shooting folks in the back over property but I only have so much sympathy, and idiots shot while robbing aren't exactly high on my priority list.

When you're thinking about what laws to pass you have to think about situations like these. This is not as uncommon as you might think.
We have been promised so much blood in the streets that we never got.
Guns in parks was guaranteed wild west 2.0
Guns in bars was 1000% guaranteed wild west apocalypse; we wouldn't be able to make enough coffins for the bodies
Unpermitted weapons inside cars would turn every street into a GTA themed shootout

Let us have this one bill where finally the innocent blood will be shed by the barrel.
 
I voted for Biden. I cannot believe that anyone but a seriously defective, unpatriotic, anti-American would vote for the seriously defective, Russia-first Trump.
Are you trolling? Or just ignorant? Your party is the new communist party. Just ignorant.

Reminds me of a movie quote
“Damn boy, you shot him in the back!”
then the answer
“Well, his back was to me”

Most wont shoot anyone in the back. This law is about filling the hole in the castle doctrine. By definition you can’t even show a gun to an intruder without being guilty of “brandishing a weapon “ It’s kinda silly to think you have to wait till your life is actually in danger to draw. By then it’s likely too late. This bill clears up some unclear middle ground.
 
You'll probably kill them with a leg shot too.

At least if you have the proper rounds.
No, you tourniquet off the flow of blood, so they lose the leg at the hospital.

I was being sarcastic. Ktown plays the entitled victim role on every situation.

I'm of the belief that if you plan to steal something then whatever happens to you is deserved.

My thought process is you already decided to trespass and take things that aren't yours, so your values system is already invalid. I don't trust you to make any good decisions going forward. Your intent is to commit crimes and get away with it. I shouldn't be tasked with reading your mind and deciding what else might be on the menu.
 
The neighbors kids are playing ball. It goes over the fence. But you don't see that. Instead, all you see is some shadowy figure poking about your backyard. You're telling me you should be able to whip out your gun and execute them on the spot based solely what you think their intent is?

Damn what kind of neighborhood do you live in where kids are slinking around in your back yard ? We’ve had that happen a few times before , the kids come to our front door and say “ Mr. Onelilreb our ball went into your yard again will you get it for us “ ? Then they usually follow it up with can Zeus ( our husky ) come out and play with us . Sounds like you need better neighbors , or maybe it’s you . LOL

Should’ve shot the little *****.

I wonder if the people that are boasting about what they would do in a situation like this or talk about this being the right call know exactly what kind of hell they will still go through in the legal system if they shoot someone in self-defense or during a home invasion. I bet the lawyers and prosecutors will be tying up your life for several years and you will have to spend tens of thousands in your defense.

I wonder if they weigh all of that out if it might give people a second thought about just letting a guy run away with whatever he was able to grab and cut your losses.

As I said earlier in this thread I don’t think I’d shoot someone for minor theft outside of my home. If they are in my house they better have some pumped up kicks and get out quicker than my bullets.

As a 15 year old I walked an intruder out the front door at gun point and locked the front door behind him. The police got him up the street. I was taught how to handle the situation from an early age. Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance.


It’s a bad idea to shoot people you don’t have too or to hold them for the police. Eliminate the threat without casualties if possible
 
It’s one of those things you don’t leave home without.

Funny thing happened along those lines yesterday.

I was on base doing my A, B, C run (Alcohol, BX, Commissary) and I don't know if you've seen some of the Campbells soup cans lately, but they've reverted back to the old style, need a can opener to open type instead of the pop top. A younger couple was staring at them suspiciously looking at both sides of the can before deducting "maybe we need to buy a can opener or something... I don't know."

Further comments as I grabbed a few cans myself included "who would have ever thought they'd have soup you had to use a can opener on?"

Facepalming in a facemask doesn't bring the same effect as it normally would.

Anyone that comes in my home knowing we are there, puts themselves and my family in danger . I will always assume they are stupid and have bad intentions.

That’s funny.

When me and the wife were dating we went camping and forgot to bring a can opener. P38 saved the trip.
