Now that’s interesting!
If you’re invited over.. and someone breaks in you definitely should not have to retreat!
There was a case in Pine Bluff where a man went out on his porch to yell at the gang banger kids to turn their rap music down. A shouting match and arguement ensued. Homeowner went inside to call 911...gang banger entered and homeowner gets into gunfight.
Court ruled that the homeowner was THE ORIGINAL AGGRESSOR and threw out lawful self defense. Guy plead to negligent homicide and did 7 years IIRC. I think it may have been turned over on appeal.....but was the prison time worth it?!
Ya gotta be careful out there!
Wow really??????
I just wonder in that situation what else was that guy supposed to do after the idiot broke into his house?
I have been trying to find out about Arkansas law on accidental exposure of a concealed carry weapon. One statement is to contact a lawyer. Why should I have to do that? Why isn’t the law written clearly enough to be understood?
Personally, I believe a law abiding citizen shouldn’t have to hide anything.
