Plus, he’ll have a new, active social life.
He doesn’t even have to go to match.com
“Individual Sovereignty” has nothing to do with it in reality.
This story is washing around to cast doubt and ridicule on the genuine people utilizing quiet title to aquire their forclosed homes from banks that have repossesed them while holding no real wet ink signed documentation for the loans they are foreclosing on.
Additionally, people can actually gain title to (usually land) properties under adverse possession laws, but you generally have to have paid taxes on the land in order to do so, over a period of years usually. The latter way is DEFINITELY a good way to garner oneself a meth lab cleanup or other contamination surprise unless you know what the heck you’re getting into...
Their warning was the locked door and windows.
I returned to my house and found that I couldn’t get in. I must have lost my keys, and my wife’s keys didn’t fit either. We didn’t know what we had done with the keys, so we cut the locks on the doors to get in. The kids were crying and a diaper needed to be changed real quick.
To my surprise, there was someone in my house! He rushed at me, and, fearing for my life, and the lives of my family and small children, I repelled his attack with legal means. I really didn’t want to do it, but the safety of my family is foremost.
Do you know of a company that cleans rugs?
In Florida someone breaking into your home is automatically considered armed. Regardless of which state you are in all a warning shot is going to do is put other people at risk and waste ammunition you might end up needing.
IMO either you have cause to use deadly force or your don’t. If you don’t then the bullets should stay in the gun.
Finding someone in my home is definitely cause for use of deadly force.
“Were you in fear of your life, or loss of a vital limb or body part?”
Not entirely necessary under Colorado’s “Castle Doctrine”, which states:
“any occupant of a dwelling is justified in using any degree of physical force, including deadly physical force, against another person when that other person has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, and when the occupant has a reasonable belief that such other person has committed a crime in the dwelling in addition to the uninvited entry, or is committing or intends to commit a crime against a person or property in addition to the uninvited entry, and when the occupant reasonably believes that such other person might use any physical force, no matter how slight, against any occupant.”
Just wait until he pulls the same stunt with the neighboring jail cells, hahahahahaha! I’ll bring the popcorn.
Separate topic, since I would have shot the lying weasel straight off. My house, you trespass -you no longer have any worries at all.
I was under the impression that under something like the Homesteading Law (or something like that) you were allowed to legally claim any unclaimed property as long as you had it properly laid out (generally by a licensed surveyor), could show that you were making improvements upon it, and paid property taxes for it.
People do things like that all the time, albeit with no one particularly caring about some out-of-the way piece of worthless land no one else has been living on.
Have things changed so much that we are back again to the old axiom that all the lands belong to the king and you only live in your dwelling at the king's pleasure as long as you pay your taxes?
