I need more support. Could you buy me a H&K Mark 23.
I found one in Bulgaria for only $800, I should have jumped on it, but I don't think I could have gotten it back to the states

But they would like your $$ anyway and hold it for you.I found one in Bulgaria for only $800, I should have jumped on it, but I don't think I could have gotten it back to the states
Guy just brought a H&R topper model 88 12ga. Will that do?:sneaky:Only if you buy me that nice 870 posted a few posts up.
But isn't this a requirement in lethality? Why does a weapon have to kill to disable an intruder? The effectiveness of their threat will be almost null with a slug in muscle tissue, the shots need not have the ability to spill out the back of them.
If an intruder has the physical ability to take it and keep going for you why would any injury short of immediate death deter them? We are not talking about a BB gun here, a slug an inche or 2 into flesh is going to hurt just as much as one that travels through to the other side. If they can put up with that pain, short of a kill shot you'd be hard pressed to stop them (what proportion of shots would be immediately lethal by an individual of average ability, if it is low it is likely that that kind of individual criminal would get a shot of at you regardless of your weapon of choice)
Hand guns are illegal in Canada.
Not exactly. A license is required which as far as I can tell just requires you pass a few safety tests.
I like this "Castle Doctrine", if someone threatens me with harm, especially in my own home, as far as I'm concerned he has forfeited all rights and should be met with maximum force to remove the threat permanently.
That's what she said.They recommend 12 inches... That 2 inches of penetration you were relying on is now 0 inches.
In S.C., that includes your vehicle. Def.: motorized or non-motorized means of conveyance. Guess that includes my mountain bike.

That's why it's called the great state of......right?Here in Texas subsection (e), of Section 2. states;
(e) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the force is used is not required to retreat before using force as described by this section.
Which translates into anywhere you are, and legally have the right to be the Castle Doctrine applies, whether at home, in your car, at the store, at work, walking the dog ...where ever.

In S.C. it's not about your property. Just self/fam. Guy can kick your door in and snatch your T.V. and you can't "legally" shoot him if you're not threatened.Maximum force isn't what the Castle Doctrine is about. It's about you being able to use the necessary force to protect yourself and your property. Police can certainly blow your head off, but that's not generally the first action they would take.

Or you can just shoot him and say he threatened you. The fuck if anyone is walking into my house and taking my new TV.
I bet the cops have a pool for who goes the longest in a year without hearing "I swear officer, they tried to kill me."
Agree. He WILL have some type of weapon.Or you can just shoot him and say he threatened you. The fuck if anyone is walking into my house and taking my new TV.
Yep. He will definitely have a weapon.
When I was a teen, my friend's father -- who, at the time, was a director of operations for a Federal Law Enforcement Agency -- told my friend and I one thing: If you shoot someone in your house, make sure they're dead. Dead men tell no tales.
That lesson has stayed with me to this day and remains my philosophy on home defense. If you come into my house uninvited and pose a threat to my family, my possessions, or myself, you won't leave my home alive. Period.
I can understand that sentiment, but as much as I support castle law, I don't think I'd adhere to it. It's a bit too harsh. If I just capped a guy in my house and he's on the floor bleeding out, I'm not gonna walk up to him and put a pill in his head. If he still had a gun I might.
I'm not saying you'd be that barbaric.
