“if they think it was necessary to protect themselves from serious injury or death”

Wow, subjective standard rather than reasonable person. That’ll be an appellate issue sooner or later.

[Fai Mao]

The term swing a dead cat refers to a Cat-o-nine-tails whip not a house pet.

A “Dead Cat” was a bare whip without hooks, glass, or knots in the flails. It “couldn’t bite,” so it was dead.

Just trivia about the term. I would never swing a dead skunk.

Before the internet, people with mental disabilities or problems were alone. Now, they get together to protest. Not all, but many have mental issues.

We already have the right to defend ourselves and constitutional carry makes that easier but I believe this bill was passed in case you have to LEAVE the scene due to crazy libtard rioters. Normally it’s a felony to leave the scene of an accident.

[ConservativeMind]

Honest, officer, I didn't see those five BLMers.

You said they are “dead?” Really?

[ConservativeMind]

“Not all?”

[2aProtectsTheRest]

Constitutional carry is wonderful, and I hope we get there coast to coast. But discharging a firearm inside a vehicle is fraught with problems. Powder burns, shrapnel injuries, severe hearing damage; it’s not like the movies at all.

I think this law exists for you to be able to plow through a crowd that’s surrounded your vehicle and is threatening your life. That situation has cropped up repeatedly across the US in the past year.

[17th Miss Regt]

They’ve got enough to deal with the blood and paint damage.

Perhaps a cowcatcher mounted on the front? Sharpened stakes optional.

[joma89]

MAGA!

[Blogatron]

You need one of these potato mashers on the front of your car.

[Rurudyne]

Cruelty to the dead skunk if you ask me.

[Secret Agent Man]

and the scenario where there is no opening...?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When rioters are threatening your life and the lives of your family trying to break into your vehicle and kill you, you have every right to defending yourself and your family with deadly force. That’s just a basic human right.

White people don't have basic human rights.

Didn't you get the memo?

[TexasGurl24]

If there is no opening and you are trying to survive then you’d be ok. It’s a totality of the circumstance analysis.

[blueunicorn6]

I’m a bit concerned that you show so much familiarity with whips.

You’re not one of those Sado Mashedpotato people, are you?

[blueunicorn6]

That’s why I come to Free Republic.

Lots of fellow crazy people here.

There’s a guy here who thinks he’s a blue unicorn.

Real nut job.

[Mercat]

I carry one of those devices that scream loudly if you push the button. And I carry earplugs. Put in the earplugs, roll the window down a tiny bit (they’re small) push the button and toss it outside. Anyone ever use one?

[familyop]

Excellent law! People have a right to escape from violent attacks and from efforts to trap them into being attacked.

[familyop]

"You couldn’t swing a dead skunk in that room without hitting a lesbian.

And boy! Wouldn’t that be fun!"

Looks almost as fun as the sport of broadcasting.

[ThunderSleeps]

...the driver must exercise “due care” ...

Oh, if I'm ever caught in that kind of situation I'll exercise due care so as not to run over/into anyone. Tell you what, I'll empty the magazines of my EDC into them first as incentive to get out of the way and not get run over. ;-) That's the only "due care" they merit.
