The Minneapolis police are just insane. The guy saves the life of the store owner and they go off on a rant about CCW.
Minnesota has a duty to retreat. The police can’t stand when they are shown to be cowards.
Thanx for that info.
RETREAT: Arkansas Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Iowa Maine Maryland Massachusetts Missouri Minnesota Nebraska New Jersey New York North Dakota Ohio Pennsylvania Rhode Island Wisconsin Wyoming
I notice that California isn't in either of them.
From ASK: Attorney General Eric Holder has denounced Stand Your Ground and called for the law to be repealed.
The COMMENTS from this page tell the tale:
1. I would also like to add - white, black, blue, or green, they are all going to receive the same number of rounds to the chest.
2. Thank God I live in the free state of Mississippi!
3. you should go to A1 burger on Vernon and 7th ave. they have the best burgers in LA for $3.50
4. Stand darells ground
5. Ok let's take away are right to protect ourselves in are own homes... derp de derp
6. Ha! Yeah. I think a word needs to be invented. "Trayvoxhaustion" perhaps? Maybe not though. Too many letters there.
7. The only thing I might misjudge regarding a trespasser entering my home, are the number of bullets needed to eliminate the threat.
That was my thought at first. But, after reading those three paragraphs again, I think it's more a matter of a poorly written article by an incompetent "journalist".
The writers ask leading questions and selectively print what fits their agenda. I'm betting that in a full, properly done interview Elder's comments would not have come across as they do here. They just printed the portion that makes the police appear anti carry. Had I been the reporter I'd have asked Elder if the police felt there were exceptions to the non-intervention advice. Which I bet he would have said yes. He can't be seen as encouraging vigilantism. Which is obviously not the case here & I don't think he was implying that it was.
