Put that pistol away and take your beating like a man, honkey!
Would be nice to start a rumor and have it go viral that fifty percent of all Americans are armed at all times and that new laws have been put into place for those Americans, to carry, while flying and while in all buildings including government buildings. The signs mean nothing to the fifty percent because they have been made perfectly legal carriers. Would scare off most criminals too.
We were taught im the state police academy that an unarmed assilant can still kill you....and if the knock out game has taught us anything is that what I and other troopers.were taught still holds true....enough force to a person’s skull can kill them or permanently impair tbem for the rest of their life....a touchy issue..amd one where those who carry need lots of traini.g and a good lawyer on standby....
I’d like to point out why, in an SYG situation, having a knife as a complement to a gun doubly affords protection.
Brandishing a gun is tricky, as just doing that represents a threat to someone’s life. The ability to “reach out and touch someone”. A knife, other than a throwing knife, however, has no offensive momentum, so unless you approach someone, or they approach you, by itself it is not a mortal threat.
So gun owners need to be more hesitant in brandishing their gun until they are certain of a threat, or they may break the law. However, a knife can be brandished, “saying” nothing more than “back off”.
Robbers, muggers, and knockout gamers all rely on subterfuge to close the gap with their intended victim. Either by sneaking up behind them, or feigning a non-criminal purpose to get near to them.
And this works against a concealed carry gun, but at the very first inkling of menace, a knife can be drawn, yet still be discreet so as not to cause alarm. Even if rushed, there is no hesitation to slash or stab.
I still don’t understand, and may never understand, how it is that the liberals had a meltdown over stand your ground laws with Trayvon Martin, when the defense of Zimmerman was based on self defense, not the stand your ground laws.
We have had an ongoing national conversation over stand your ground, triggered by the Trayvon Martin case, when that case had nothing to do with stand your ground in the first place.
How is it that liberals were able to use this case to talk about stand your ground laws when the case had nothing to do with stand your ground laws?????
I presume the misinformation about stand your ground is both deliberate and malevolent, because the concept is trivial.
“Stand your ground” — the right to stay (stand) where you (your) are, rather than having to run away (give ground).
I’m not a lawyer, and just by the words, I know this is saying that if I had a right to self-defense, I have a right to exercise self-defense WITHOUT REGARD to whether I could have instead retreated.
Simply put, in any situation where I would be justified in using force, it is as if I am in a room with no doors, and therefore had no ability to escape.
Zimmerman didn’t invoke “stand your ground” because first, it doesn’t mean you can follow someone, and second, at the time he was being beaten, he had no ability to flee, and therefore had no reason to invoke the right NOT to flee.
Actually, I find it quite informative. As in “ He told me to give him my wallet...”
When the dems were the party of the KKK, they tried to ban gun ownership from Black citizens. They just have switched around the skin colors of their hate in this post segregation period.
