    Re: 2005 House Bill 5143 (Repeal “duty to retreat” in self defense )

     

    Yes,  you are quite correct.  My girlfriend is affraid of weapons.  Her daughter lives with us (senior in high school).  But she won't have much to do with me as I am the "outsider".  They have both been instructed as to my "no touchy" rule as far as my weapons.  My girlfriend's two sons are no longer in the house...they've had to move out.  Both are 23 & 25 years old.  T'was about time eh?  Can't live at home with mommy til your 30.  I was out on my own at 18. 

    Her oldest son is the one that came to attack me.  Anytime there's been a disagreement in the home,  the daughter calls him and he thinks he's the calvary.  He and the 23 year old are no longer welcome.  The situation is uncomfortable.  I'm not their father...never tried to be.  I'm 51 years old,  have four kids of my own.  But her boys are trouble makers...you know...tough guys.  They found out that this ex-hockey player gives no quarter.  No one walks in and stomps on me.  The situation seems quiet for now,  but the pattern dictates that he'll return and make for more trouble.  Of course,  I will stand my ground, and this time he may not be as lucky.  I'm not taking anymore crap...from anyone.

    So,  this spring,  I plan to educate my girlfriend on the weaponry.  I am a well trained survivalist,  and was formerly affiliated with a para-military unit.  I still have a very small group of friends who I affiliate with on a regular basis.  We're law abiding,  tax paying,  decent people.  No criminals allowed and are devout patriots.  We love our God and country. 

    I keep tabs on many of these groups and lately,  there are a growing number of them with rapidly expanding membership.  Everyone needs to protect their 2nd Amendment rights.  Gun control doesn't takes guns out of the hands of criminals.  It only leaves law abiding citizens unarmed,  and without means to protect themselves.  My idea of gun control is "aim true,  squeeze,  and don't miss".

    So to all LAW ABIDING citizens...protect your Constitution,  your Bill of Rights,  and your country.  Remember those that have sacrificed their lives for your freedom.  Obey the laws of the land and for God's sake be honest!   Stand your ground and do not let thugs and criminals ruin your freedom and infringe upon your rights.  It's called being an American.

    There should be nothing wrong with deadly force, especially if that person is attacked by another human being. The person doing the attacking is over stepping there bounds and must accept any outcome of there actions. The person being attacked should not have to worry about whats going to happen if they hurt there attacker.

     Amendment offered by Rep. Rick Jones (R) on April 25, 2006, to remove provision that a person who breaks and enters into a dwelling or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to committ an unlawful or violent act. The bill instead establishes a rebuttable presumption that this is the case. The amendment passed by voice vote in the House on April 25, 2006.

     Bird.  I am 66 and cannot evoke the physical strength needed to repel even a Jr. Hi kid (health prolems don't make it any better).  I obtained my CPL last year.  I own 5 pistols of varying calibers, one rifel and 2 shotguns and more than 5000 rounds of ammunition collectively.  Every day that I go out, I carry, even to the mailbox, I even carry in my own home and on my property.  Now.  What is important is that the courts have clearly indicated that police officers have no legal duty to protect individual citizens but are obligated to the citizens at large, (Warren v. District of Columbia).  So.  My question is, "Who is going to protect you when you are attacked by a criminal?"  Maybe Gypsy in an earlier post on tasers.  Also, the Department of Justice, in a national study, revealed that the average time for the police to respond to a violent criminal call is one hour.  The shortest response time I found was 30 minutes.  These two facts alone demonstrate a need for every citizen to become armed legally, and trained, and have all viable options to deadly force.  Research and research some more on the law and cases to CYA.  The law says one thing and the legislators carried an intent with the law, but the police and Prosecutors may look at it differently and you could be in a world of hurt when you face 12 jury members.

        United States Concealed Carry Association has a web site you can connect to to get insurance that covers retainer fees and up to $25,000 in lawyer costs, but its expensive.

    Re: 2005 House Bill 5143 (Repeal “duty to retreat” in self defense )

     

    I want to advocate for any new self defense act changes, that you guys might introduce. Is this a constant issue that Rep. Rick Jones introduces? 

    There is a serious problem with police agencies not investigating and blow off citizens complaints of violence.  The People should change the criminal and civil immunity that blankets police agencies, and officers., so when they conduct poor, sloppy, or otherwise investigates complaints under performance to there capabilities and standards. If its a foreseeable factor that future violence is more likely to happen then less likely, they should be required to diligently investigate and put in force any action necessary that will prohibit and prevent serious harm, deaths, assaults, harrasments so-on.  If a cop fails to do there job, and someones hurt over it, then damages done should correlate to the officers punishiment. A fine for a bruise.  up to 90 days if somesones seriously hurt, and up to 10 years if someone dies, as a result of there inadequate and underperformanced investigation. They get paid tax money, "our money" to protect us. Thats there job. So when they dont protect us, they basically are stealing that money.

     

    anyone point me in the right direction? please

    I see this being such a great bill here. Its all about being able to protect yourself with force. I see this needing to be pushed here. The world is getting crazy and we have protest ourselves. Richmond Movers

    Re: I Oppose This Legislation . . .

     Yes I am if you come into my home without my consent, if you brake  into my home, if you accost me on the street or I see you trying to harm someone on the street you are damned right you are a criminal.  Anyone that conducts themselves in this manner needs to be and must be met with force on force.  It's the only way citizens are going to keep you thugs under control.  As long as you fear me that is very excellent.  I refuse to be your victim.

    Re: I Oppose This Legislation . . .

    gypsy is your typical "under the bed" liberal who thinks that conservatives are "over the top" on just about everything. Carrying a CCW has restrictions and should be followed but every person in the United States who is eligible to carry should be allowed to protect themselves from harm "at all times"! Listening to Obama/Biden/Clinton on U.N. gun controls and then trying to expand them to the U.S., coupled with Obama/Holder's Fast & Furious Operations that got Mexicans and U.S. border agents killed inorder to get public opinion to suspend our 2nd. Amendment rights is sickening.
