Shoot'em

[demodan]

In KY the castle law applies to your dwelling and no verbal warning must be given before shooting. Actually its tactically sound to do just that...ID target and shoot, no warning!

As for looting, if I run out of supplies and the excrement has REALLY hit the fan and my family is hungry or needs medical supplies, I am sorry, but I am doing what I need to do to keep my family alive. You wont see me carting off a new plasma TV or anything like that though. You can call me cruel but I will take from where ever or who ever the things I need.

Are you 100% sure on that JD7...I can remember twice where individuals were shot for being inside the home to rob the place...and......
case one: the home owner woke up, heard somebody in his living room...he got up, grabed his Remington 12 gage he keeps by the bed, loaded...he just shot the man in his living room...gave no warning...just shot the dude with a 12 gage right there...The man shot, with a DVD player in hand...died on the spot; he was unarmed...the home owner was charged with 3rd degree man slaughter...was convicted and spet 3 years in prison. There was another person with the robber...he was the "look out"...standing at the doorway and witnesed the event. His testamony stood up in court. And one thing he said during the trial...was the home owner just steped around the corner and blasted him, with no warning. Like I said...3 years in the hosegow.
Case number two...this happended in Kentucky in my home town. The farm owner was asleep...but he woke up to use the bathroom...it was 3am. As the farmer was walking to the bathroom, he happened to look out the kitchen window to see a truck in his drive way. Knowbody was in the truck...as far as he could tell...thinking maybe somebody might be stealing some farm equipment in the barn...he went to his gun case and grabbed his deer hunting rifle...it was a 30-06. As he was walking to the back door...the door knob was turning...somebody is coming into the house, at this time in the USA, locking doors was unheard of. He backs off into the hall way, where it is dark...so that he could see who was coming into the house....the guy walks into the back porch and into the Kitchen...the farmer...seeing that the guy "wasn't anybody he knew" (this was his own testamony), shot the robber right in the chest with the 30-06...it hit him so hard it blew him back about 15 feet, back out on the porch, blood everywhere!!!...dead before he hit the ground. The farmer was found guilty of man slaughter in the 2nd degree! Had had to spend 4 years in prison...but got out in 2yr on good behavior. They said he was convicted... becouse he didn't give a waring...when the robber was outside the door...turing the knob...in other words...if he gave the warning...he prabably wouldn't have had to shoot him.
Just two that I know of for sure.
