Buck a funch of PC BS.

I salute the man for giving fair warning.

Last I heard, in court, you can be convicted of shooting an intruder, unless your life was in danger. If you could run out the back door, or climb out a window, you need to let the perp have his way.

I will guarantee, if this good 'ol boy pops a cap on somebody who he has not invited onto his property, well - they was warned. And I doubt there would be an uproar from his town to charge him.

Scum that even think of looting need a killing - not a warning.

This fellow guarding his house is like many folks down these parts -- he is about as non-P.C. as you can get, and with very little provoking will probably ante up an ass-whuppin' to prove it. Folks around here are nice as can be, but they're old-school -- you threaten them or try to steal their stuff, they'll kill ya, and chances are good the A.G. will not prosecute. You can see why people from blue zones vacationing here walk around kind of softly.

This old fellow and his son also went through Andrew in 1992, where they got cleaned out by looters. He's not about to make the same mistake twice.

This was common after Andrew as well. In fact there was a documentary done about Andrew and they briefly interviewed a young girl who was sitting in a lawn chair with a 12ga Street Sweeper. Thay asked her if "that was a real gun?" and She replied "yes, and these are real bullets" holding out her hand full of shotgun shells. Folks here in the south take their gun rightss seriously and if that shocks the yankess, then so be it. Don't give us a reason and we won't have to use them.

Actually, here in Florida, we have the legal theory of "Castle Defense". We are not required to flee our homes. Once you are in your home you have the right to defend yourself. You can stand your ground even if the back door is open and you could flee.
