State law made the difference to the defense of Kyle. We're a gun crazy society. I pray for our country.

Great news. Just when I was starting to give up hope for USA.

He even lied about that. His license wasn't expired it had been suspended because of his earlier dui.

How many were killed?? Do you think everyone should carry weapons in the future?

Beware of UNDERSTANDING stand your ground law.

I recently attended a home defense course from a self declared expert. I hope never to find out. He suggested you call the police on your cell phone, they will record as it is happening. You should not say you have a gun, you demand that they leave, if there is one person and they are NOT ARMED you cannot chose to shoot them. Several people invading your home which is 93%? of the time since you are clearly out numbered even if they are not armed you can shoot.

I did ask. According to the expert SELF DEFENSE AMMO, which by the way is outlawed in combat by the Geneva convention, has yet to be used as premeditated murder.

I doubt any event will be simply dismissed in today's REALITY.

Oh you are truly at a disadvantage in REALITY. A criminal is not concerned that you just had your place painted, spent a fortune on carpet or whatever AND YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MESS AND IF YOU MISS THE BULLET WILL GO OUT YOUR WINDOW ETC.

May none of us experience REALITY.

I AM NOT AN ATTY-WHAT I SAY IS MY OPINON-BUT DAVES SAYS WILL BE LAUGHED OUT OF COURT

Yes, state law revealed that Rittenhouse did NOT break the law in carrying that particular weapon.
Personally, I thank God every day for our bill of rights to include our 2nd ammendment. I pray also that we never have to use our abundance of personally owned weapons that are currently in the hands of our "gun crazy society" to fight an enemy on our own soil. I pray that if we ever do, you will be willing (and able) to fight by that society's side for our freedom.

Should everyone carry a weapon. Endless debate with no clear answers. In Florida it is fairly easy to get a carry permit. You would be surprised how many little grandmothers
are carrying guns and are deadly shots.

It seems to me, perhaps my BIAS, the places with the tightest gun control laws also have the highest crime rates and people shot-New York, Chicago, Los Angeles.

Gun sales are way up. I've read 40% are first time gun owners. In a sense it is like driving and 40% of the drivers just got their license. TEASING but we might be surprised at so many drivers using turn signals etc.

REALITY, no matter what the law is or is changed to, criminals do not follow the law.

I support the right to own a gun. However the reality is you being able to fight an enemy on our own soil is not REALITY. Average age in the villages is 70. My knees, my back are both shot. You cannot LEGALLY own typical automatic combat weapons. You cannot for example own a 50 cal machine gun. Heck if you did own one the bullets are like $1.50 each. A tank, a canon, jets etc.

Should we ever be invaded by a FOREIGN ENEMY, they would likely not care about a bunch or 70 year olds in the Villages. A DOMESTIC ENEMY is far more likely.

I know a gun loving woman who years ago here in the Villages heard a noise in her bedroom, grabbed her .38 and put a hole in her vacuum which had shifted its weight while in her bedroom's closet.

I do worry about our trigger finger happy gun culture.

The kid who killed them will probably have a very hard time dealing with this once the hoopla machine goes onto something else.

If he were black/brown you would be "whistling" a different tune. Hope all the ViCTIMS sue the Hell out of him and the Kenosha police.

You need a better news source.

Everything you just posted is incorrect. You might want to learn some facts before making yourself look so...... incorrect.
