The proper time for your epiphany is long before you pick up your gun, not afterwards.bridge wrote:While I haven't taking the CHL class yet, I'm curious as to the epiphany I will have that would make me stand by and watch someone steal from me out of my own driveway.
I was confused about your meaning. Now that I understand, it looks like we're all in agreement.couzin wrote:I was agreeing with Nemesis - my reference was regarding the thread starting by "Got my CHL today and 3 hours later my first incident!". I was affeared that the poster was thinking the CHL was a justification for use of the shotgun or, in general, the throwing of shots at someone (deadly force). Then the post went into the use of a shotgun - which, unless the shotgun does meet the definition of 'handgun' - is a different animal. Sorry for my confusing post - brain cells kinda short out once in a while...WildBill wrote:P.S. To Couzin. Nemesis is talking about the laws concerning the use of deadly force which apply to concealed handguns as well as shotguns and other deadly weapons. I think Tallinthesaddle has had a lot to think about lately.
Shooting on your land, regardless of the acreage, is different than shooting at someone.Mr.Scott wrote:I know some of you city folk might find this amazing but there are parts of the State where you can discharge a firearm on your own property. Besides, if this is 5 acres of land, those shotgun blasts are going to hit the ground before they leave his property line.
