Can’t argue with his choice of gear!

Ban guns! Wait, never mind.
Witnesses said Briggs stumbled from the home, leaving a trail of blood, before collapsing with the arrow still in his chest.
Those two statements seem a bit contradictory. Just sayin'

Considerably fast and loose if the blood trail begins “from the home.” heh
I don’t think the discrepancy is going to help the accused’s defense much though.
Geez, nasty weapon.
If I was a felon and could not own firearms, I would have a black powder revolver and a crossbow for home protection.
Those cap and ball revolvers are considered “firearm accessories”, not firearms themselves, so felons are legally allowed to own them. I wonder why more don’t so they aren’t caught with a gun and go back to prison.
But then, I am not as stupid as your average felon. That is one reason I’m not a felon.
In some states felons cannot even have a black power firearm OR a bow and arrow.
That is interesting. I never knew that.
