You might want to familiarize yourself with Arkansas Law before spouting off.

Arkansas state code 5-2-608 says deadly force may be used against another person if the “person reasonably believes the use of deadly physical force is necessary to prevent the commission of arson or burglary by a trespasser.”

North Central Arkansas has had a couple of these involving citizens this year. Yep, the statute is clear. Similar results and similar handling by law enforcement.

Arkansas is not one of the People’s Republiks that suffers excessive nanny-ism.

I couldn’t care less about Arkansas law. I’m making a general point about the frequent, practical disparity between the ways in which ordinary citizens are treated, as opposed to law enforcement officers.

I just bought 25 acres in the northern part of Ark. Soon as I can sell my place in Louisiana I'm gone.
