In January (South Carolina Attorney General) Condon declared "open season," on home invaders and sent a letter to all solicitors, sheriffs and police chief directing that citizens acting to defend their homes will not be arrested, charged or prosecuted.
"Citizens protecting their homes who use force, even deadly force, will be fully safeguarded under the law of this state and subject to no arrest, charge or prosecutions," Condon said in a Jan. 24 press release. "In South Carolina, would-be intruders should now hear this: invade a home and invite a bullet."
Lawmakers have an opportunity next year to make a lasting contribution to homeland security. Empowering citizens is the surest way to reach this goal while making things safer for everyone.
This is applicable for everyone;-)
