Guys, even if you think I'm a crazy right wing freakshow. WE'd BETTER get control of our country, or our rights as US citizens will be stripped forever.

This guy DID the right thing by stopping a crime and what did the cops do....they ARRESTED him.

COME ON.

Later,

This is why I don't care for FOX news. Sensationalism.

So the homeowner was charged with reckless conduct not discharging a firearm. The local Co. Atty. is reviewing self defense and defense of property laws prior to indictement (makes sense).

This article reports it like he has been convicted and sent off to sing sing.

Shows how gun laws and self defense laws can vary from state to state and county to county. I think here in KY you have to believe your are at risk of personal injury before you can shoot in self defense I don't think you can shoot someone for crawling out of a window even if you ask him to stop and he runs.

Heck New Hampshire my well be more libral on property protection than we are if they allow you to shoot to protect property.
