C'mon ya'll. He was right about one thing. He offered us a point of view most of us cannot offer!

Boy howdy! with that totally!

I know! He was a Brady Campaign plant to spread disinformation! Hey, weren't we talking about terrorist tactics yesterday?

I think he would have had a more positive response if he'd gone to the Brady Bunch forum.

Awww man, and I was wanting to yell CAT FIGHT!

But would you say that everyone that breaks into your home has intentions of doing bodily harm?

Yes. To assume anything else would be putting me, my family, my possessions at dire risk.

If their intentions are other than stealing then you would call them a murderer or a rapist etc, not a burglar.

I have NO idea what the intentions are of anyone who would break into my house, and I will not try to second guess myself.

Have you read the Deadly Force Statutes I posted?

I have been listening to some gun owners (on another website)talking about killing criminals just because they can and I am down right disgusted.

Care to share with us the other forum(website) you are referring to?

And what part of this great State do you hail from?

How would you relate this to say street racing? Its illegal to street race and they are putting your life in danger as well as their own life.

It does not relate at all, in my opinion. Street racing is illegal yes. But it is not deliberate aggression and violence directed at you, or anyone else. Unless of course they are aiming their car right at you, intent on doing you bodily injury or death.

There is no justification in using deadly force against someone you observe street racing.

Read Chapter 2 of the Handbook issued to all CHL holders. It is dedicated to deadly force statutes:

Those people on the other forums are complete idiots, and will spend a VERY long time in prison if they ever commit an act like they brag about doing. They are obviously ignorant of the laws.

Hi 5.0svo, and welcome to the forum! As you can see, there is a wealth of information here right at your fingertips and a wonderful bunch of people to get to know. Glad to have you with us.

A lot of what you will see here is centered around conflict resolution and avoidance of using deadly force. A CHL is charged with an awesome responsibility for using their training, education, restraint and common sense when a deadly force encounter is immanent. Using deadly force in a situation comes with consequences that many of us do not even want to contemplate. It would be a truly a live changing event for one who defends himself/herself against the attacker.

It is from these discussions that we learn.

I haven't heard of the shooting in Ft.Worth. When did it happen, and where did you hear of it?
