A Royal Coverup!

[=sw=warlord]

@Limited: Is that how it works in Britain? I know in the U.S. it's considered self-defense because they trespassed, threatened other individuals, and only because you stabbed once. Now if you stabbed the guy like 5 times after he's obviously incapacitated, then it's considered murder.

What limited said Isn't how it works.
He's probably thinking back to the farmer who was originally charged for shooting two people who broke into his home.
The way the law system works here is not whether you can defend your home but how much damage you inflict.
If I was at home and someone broke into my house I could give them a warning to back off and failing that I could beat the shit out of them until they left the home but I must Not block them from leaving or hold them captive.
You can either scare them off with a beating or do what's known as a citizens arrest which you ensure both yourself and the other person/s safety whilst calling the police.



In short it's the same principle as giving first aid, if you know what you're doing go then ahead but if you don't then don't fucking try because you'll make things worse.

E: Also Limited's from Dorset, no one ever bothers listening to people from Dorset.

you know how many violent crimes and school shootings happen in france?

what a country lol.

At least I can make my own decisions about my life here. And I'm not some raving maniac who would ever hurt anyone. Unless its to prevent harm to my family there isn't much point in waving a gun about in the first place. Until they make you not have another solution you should always seek another one. Anyone with a brain knows that.

As far as crime rates, when your government has control over every damn decision you make I'm certain your going to be more likely to make slightly less dangerous ones. But your giving up freedom for security.

WarLord, we've had this discussion many times. You know how I feel and I know how you feel. We don't need to retread it.

Who else was there to see it? Just say that he didn't go down until the 5th.

You'd be surprised how an autopsy (at least in the U.S., not sure about elsewhere) can show in what manner the man died. Of course, you do have a point and you could just lie, but I believe this scenario is actually more geared towards guns/bullets.

If someone wants a gun, they'll find one, especially if the gunmen don't plan past their shooting. What would they have to lose if their plan was to die in their malicious act?

Actually, yeah, you're right. I'm studying forensics and learned something similar in one of my courses. Heh...oh god, time to choose a new major since I'm shit at this.

No wonder it's pretty much a police state lol.

do you guys not have police in america



like in canada we can dial this number "911" and have police come over to our house if somebody breaks in and we feel threatened idk maybe something you should think about introducing over there?

presumably their police are under-staffed, under-funded, and covering too large an area to be effective. the stupid adherence to county lines as well as state doesn't help; here we have state police and federal police, that's it. even here though the cops can take some time to respond to calls, if someone corners you with the intent of killing you then hard luck, you're pretty much guaranteed dead. this is always what i perceived carry as being for, as well as the prevention or at least deterrence of home invasions, but people are idiots and insist on resorting to lethal force when it's not necessary or even excusable

Never had a problem with police or with them not coming when my family has called. Then again we had some big dogs for a long time which i know for certain bit a man once (blood trail leading from inside garage door to out the back gate). Guns aren't neccessarily about self defense though. There may come a time when we will have to usurp the throne that our government is becoming. At that time we will have the tools to do so, if not the unity.

Police are usually only hated around Georgia for traffic related incidents or wayward/random brutality (as in, the brutality was done for a weird/random reason). But generally speaking, the cops I've at least come into contact with have cared for my well-being. Once, a cop pulled my brother and I over because I was wearing my seat belt wrong and then proceeded to lecture me about how dangerous it was: basically he said a crash would have resulted in my being paralyzed from the waste down, which the whole situation and his tenacity in speech freaked my feeble high school Freshman brain out. He didn't give us a ticket when he clearly (and they usually do in a school zone) could have. If there's anyone in the state to actually dislike and be wary of law-wise, it's the FBI sector here: they are over accusatory and try to pry the answers they want out of you. It's easy to see which side they're on in a case.
