NY State would be the same, if you cut NYC, Long Island and Westchester counties, and let them slide into the Atlantic.

Welcome to Florida, y'all~

First of all, this didn't take place in the People's Republic of California. It took place in Florida, and in this [flawed] state, we still have separation of church and state. At least so far; *******s like Marco Rubio would love to jam their disgusting feces-encrusted baptist religion down our throats, but up to this point this walking anus has not been able to excrete his views upon our populance. That, and most of us in South Florida get up in the morning, make coffee...and then go outside and water our plants. And we wash off the dog **** too. While watching said canine feces recede, I often watch my fundamentalist christian neighbors climb into their Chrysler minivan and go to their church on Sunday mornings. Great- turds leaving the neighborhood.

Despite the fact that they are great neighbors...I just wish the bible-thumpers would move out. Marco Rubio needs to be fired and prosecuted!

N!

:confused:

It took me a while to understand this comment...I forgot that Californians are still limited to 10-round magazines.

LOL. :D SmileWavy

God Bless You Normy...so much hatred for Christians. Most of the South loves God, Family, & Country.. in that order. Just remember the 10 commandments says though shalt not kill....not though shal not defend thy home vigoroulsy. Self defense and murder are two different issues.

Not sure where christianity enters this argument for you.
Peace and Love to ya brother

Oh yes, silly me. Of course that's what I meant. :)

and here in California you were fearing for your life in your home, unknown armed intruder, saw flash of metal in his hand, he said he was going to kill me and my wife, etc. He dies inside the house is how it plays out too, perhaps he grabbed a knife in the kitchen, or had some other weapon.

This deal with the blind guy, probably would have been at least charged with something if it happened here, only drop the charges after the papers got a hold of it. Definietely would get sued by surviving "victim"

I have nothing but 17-round mags for my G17...

Gawd, if I moved to CA, I'd have to sell so much of my gun stuff.

Normy, does your post have any relevancy to this thread?

I always thought of a warning shot as a bad idea. Chambering the first round is the only warning a potential ne'er-do-well would get from me. When you fire a warning shot, it's a bullet that you've released somewhere into the world. You know where it exited the ceiling, but you have no idea what it's trajectory is or where it will fall back down to earth.

My father taught me to only shoot to kill, no reason to waste bullets. I'm sure norm's neighbors would love it if he would pack up an head to san fran where his own kind is.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/2ar15.gifhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/2ar15.gifhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...leys/2ar15.gif

Yep. I left in 2000 with a bunch of guns (none would be considered "assault weapons"). If I ever want to move back (doubt it), I'd have to leave most of them behind. What a whacked-out place. We have so much firearm freedom here in FLA, but you don't see shoot-outs in the street (other than between gang-bangers, and that is a relatively new phenomena) and there are news events almost daily highlighting a citizen who shoots a criminal in the course of a criminal act.

...and I'd have lake-front!

I said the 17th bullet would be a "warning shot", not the first. Figure it out.

I work for Disney, one of our lawyers was shocked that I owned a few (not many) guns. He asked if I'd shoot someone breaking into my house. When I said yes, he said "What if they mistook your house for theirs? I said, why would he be breaking into his own house? I live at the end of a cul-de-sac (dead end street) in a small gated community of 25 homes. My driveway is 300 feet long uphill. There's no way someone could mistake my house for theirs or someone else's. He, the lawyer, was still shocked. I guess he never sat on a murder trial as a juror for a home invasion, triple execution. I did and it was pretty grizzly what they did to the wife before they killed the three of them.

We convicted, but just barely. To borrow a term from SammyG, some of the asshat jurors, were saying "Oh, they seem like nice boys, one was captain of the Compton Basketball team. Even though we had DNA, fingerprints, stolen jewelry, credit cards, etc. that were taken. I kept saying "Our job, right now is to determne whether they did it or not. Which has nothing to do with anything else". There are a lot of stupid people who sit on juries.

Anyone that stupid needs to be removed from the gene pool:mad:

Truer words have never been spoken.

Part of the problem is the people who typically sit on juries are those not smart enough to think up a decent excuses to get out of jury duty.

I got a jury "survey" a month ago. I'm expecting a summons some time in 2008. I will show up and do my time, because I'm sick of justice being left to the lowest common denominator.

I've been called for jury duty four times and interviewed by the lawyers once. I found it very interesting that the defense attorney dismissed me right after I responded "I have a Master's Degree" when they asked my level of education.

To give you an idea of the jury pool in No. VA, I got called a few years ago for fed. court in Alex. on an MS-13 gang RICO case. Judge asked 80 of us to stand up if any of knew someone in the FBI. Half the room stood up. I knew all about the case, told the judge and I was the very last person to get kicked off.
