re: #334 JamesTKirk

Crap. As a katana-wielding Marylander, this concerns me. Are you just speaking in general, or are there specific details? Are they charging the student?

Generally. I don’t have the specific laws at my fingertips, but this is how I remember being instructed when I bought my first handgun.

They say it may be weeks before the student’s situation is resolved. Most likely, because of the media attention and certain people wanting to bend over backwards to show they’re not partial to “rich” Hopkins students, most likely - this is my guess - he’ll be charged with something or other (I’m betting manslaughter) and then it will get plea-bargained away. That’s Maryland, My Maryland.

After a rash of attempted burglaries a while back, I wanted to put barbed or razor wire atop my eight-foot chain-link fence in the back yard. I was told if a burglar hurt himself climbing my fence, I would be liable.
