And if you dont have a gun...Why not....?
You are responsible for your own safety...

 

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Why not....?

Because guns kill people

Because guns kill people

People kill people

It's always a good idea to keep a couple of old unmatched knives in your safe for times like these

Headline should read: Homeowner shoots and kills two intruders. Police arrive to confiscate the homeowner’s weapon.

Police arrive to confiscate the homeowner’s weapon.

Why?

Why?

Because in most cases, even if clearly a legal shooting, they take the firearm leaving you defenseless till their investigation is over which could take years. It is also regarded as a evidence piece.

Nothing is ever "clearly a legal shooting" until it is investigated and such a conclusion is made.

Yup, that's why the saying goes, "two guns is as good as one, and one is as good as none"

And then leftists wonder why people have more than one gun.

Typical response from yours truly

 

[wingnut771]

Why?

Because it's the law, needs ballistic testing. The law doesn't say how long that should take though.

Any police investigator worth their salt can read the scene and see if it's staged or not, doesn't need to take years and years and years and years and years and years to figure this out. These are barriers put in place by ANC to make things as difficult as possible. Could easily change the laws to "trespassers will be shot" and keep things simple.
