It's quite clear this idiot has never been deer hunting, or hunting in general.('hunts' with Kerry)

Exactly. Hey, "hunts-with-kerry" sounds like a good Indian name for that guy.

The governor and his minions are working overtime to save this poor lady!

[Ladysmith]

Self-ping.

[TheForceOfOne]

In the 31 states that now have "concealed right to carry" laws, murders were down, on average, by 8.5 percent.

Rapes were down 5 percent and serious assaults by 7 percent.

In cities with populations of more than 250,000, murder rates dropped after the passage of such laws by an average of 13.5 percent.

You cockeyed optimist, you.

There is still their Supreme Court. Sure hope that gets worked on a bit soon. Are they there for life like the US one?

I suppose shooting him before he runs over you is out of the question. :-)

Thanks for the ping. I wanted to read when I got the time.

A similar bill to protect the right to self defense hasn't been able to see the light of day in Virginia. We have pretty good gun laws, but Virginia is one of very few states with no statutory right to self-defense. You have a common law right as defined by the courts, but nothing in statute.

One of the key RINOs in our state senate blocks the self-defense bill every time it's introduced. Just one more of my 1,001 reasons why I dislike RINOs.

[Willie B.]

Homicide in self defense (chance-medley)is already justifiable under the common law. I guess like most lawyers and judges they haven't bothered to read Blackstone.
One of the absolute rights of any individual is the right of self preservation. Which I might add also extends to his family.
This right just doesn't apply when you are in your home as it would be absurd to think that one can only defend your life in your home.
