People new to guns and self defense need to be aware that not all jurisdictions are so open to shooting burglars outside the house.
The sheriff in this county is a strong believer in the right to defend yourself. Sheriffs in adjoining counties? Not so much.
Similar incidents in this county have resulted in our sheriff announcing that most of us are armed and burglars will more than likely get shot. The county south of us has put shooters in jail under the same circumstances.
Local prosecutors vary as well.
Know your local laws and know how your local law enforcement interprets the laws.
Thank you for that reminder. I just reviewed my state's laws. I would encourage all others on FR to do the same.
Glad to meet another Polk County person. I agree with everything you said. My wife was a executive at a Disney resort and was in on many meetings for security reasons and met with these counties sheriffs and they all said they can’t say the things Judd says and act the same way. Likely because of political reasons.
