Stand Your Ground means you don’t have to submit to bullying -no?

Standing your Ground with a firearm means you don’t have to submit to a criminal—no?

The law doesn’t sound as though it is clear-cut as written. The prodedures need to be understood.

This may be a reaction to some of the gun propaganda out of England from a while back. Homeowners were told to do what the criminal said and just hope they leave your home with the stolen articles they wanted and leave you alone. I haven’t followed it for a while, but I do think that has changed.

There was a much covered case in which a man shot an intruder while in his home after being robbed repeatedly. The homeowner was prosecuted. What the propaganda didn’t say is that he shot the intruder in the back.

This is also what got Campean and Ramos in trouble, IMHO, they shot the guy in the back (well butt).

Never a cool thing. I wouldn’t want to go in front of a jury and claim self-defense if I shot someone in the back. I doubt it has ever gone in the shooters favor.

This is why you get a 12-gauge pump and load it with goose shot (I prefer #2 steel). If you don’t hear them scampering off when you chamber a round, shoot them through the fucking wall. Pistols are silly little things. Fun as hell, though.
