DomKen: For instance, If a crazy old bastard starts yelling at yell to stop pissing in his woods you can't do anything. However if he leaves and comes back waving a gun around and then shoots at you, you are then free to kill him to keep him from killing you. If you're pissing in his woods, then you're trespassing, you realize. If you shoot him, even if he is brandishing a shotgun at you, you'll still end up with a murder rap. Now, if you're pissing in your own woods, and he insanely comes onto your property saying such things and brandishing a shotgun, you're well within your rights to defend yourself - this time he's the one breaking the law by trespassing, and you're the one defending yourself. Go into his woods to piss, and all he sees is a madman pissing on his property.

[/quote] You seem to have a distorted view of the damage a bullet can do to a body. Do you know what hydrostatic shock is? [/quote] Waves his hand around "I do! I do!" Hydrostatic shock is, in simplest terms and most easily visualized, a wave. Such as, when you tap the surface of water in a bucket, the water will ripple out from that central point. If you drag your fingertip across the surface of the water, the ripples move out from the fingertip in a wave. Now, if you want to visualize what hydrostatic shock can do, take a small firework, such as a small cheapo bottle rocket, and let it shoot down into the water. After it fizzles for a bit, it will explode. As the pressure wave from that tiny little explosion moves outward, it'll cause the surface water to splash, a bit, and also the bucket will jump off of the ground. If it's a plastic bucket, you might have a hole in the bottom. If it's one of those old-style galvanized buckets, it will also jump off of the ground, the bottom may well be slightly convex in the downward direction, and there's every possibility that the bucket will have popped one or more of it's seams - I've seen it happen. Hydrostatic shock inside the human body can also cause damage, although much of it will be absorbed by muscle and organs as the bullet travels through, but it can still cause anything from mild to serious damage of it's own - for example, a bullet passes very near to the spine, but doesn't actually damage the vertebra, even so, the victim is paralyzed, perhaps for the long term, or perhaps just for a few hours or days. The hydrostatic shock caused by the bullet's extreme speed was passed via liquid and even bone into the spinal nerves, with the result of either stunning them, or damaging, or destroying them. Hydrostatic shock is also why some hillbillies like to toss dynamite into ponds and lakes - the pressure wave stuns the fish, causing them to float up to the surface. I'm sure the stupidity of fishing in this manner is apparent to all here.

What a surprise ! People 'discussing' whether shooting to kill is right or not start actually daring to be rude to each other. Who'd have ever thought? There's a simple way of dealing with this. Shooting doesn't start until talking has ceased. So whatever the circumstances walk away while you still can. That way you will live long enough to be able to chat on the Internet about whether shooting to kill is right or wrong with other frustrated soi-disant Dirty Harrys to your hearts content. Simple really.

That's not at all what that post says. It gets SSSSOOOO tiring when post after post in these threads is just bullshit the person replying makes up.

Personally I would get off his property.

ORIGINAL: Krondool1 Frankly in Answer to "does it give you the right to beat them to death" The simple answer is yes. Someone else who will be receiving free room and board at the states expense. If I'm in fear for my life Keep spouting that "fear of my life" shit like that "good ol boy" from missouri and you could be his cellmate. I'm not going to play patty-cake with the aggressor, I'm going to attempt to drive the bridge of his nose into his brain. This only works in the brains of those who think kung fu movies are a substitute for an anatomy class. A single-shot, bare-handed can be lethal if trained, or just lucky for that matter. Really???[8\|]just which single-shot bare-handed blow is lethal someplace besides a rambo movie. Shooting to wound makes no sense, especially in today's legal system. Now you are obligated (in many states) to help pay for his medical fees, Which states require this? and spend months of your life in lengthy and expensive court battles. Really???would you have any validation for this opinion? If someone is legitimately threatening me or mine harm, I'm not going to try playing Blazing Saddles and shoot the weapon from his hand. If armed or not, my initial response would be put this attacker down, put him down hard and for good, then assess any further threat. Call it military training if you'd like, Really???Which fucking military taught you that? it's simple common sense. The problem with common sense is that it is not all that common.

ORIGINAL: DomKen You are a fool if you ever shoot and do not intend to kill. That would be your ignorant,simple minded,peurile opinion. Check with your local police and see if discharging a firearm at someone is ever considered anything but an attempt to kill. What exactly does that prove?

That is one of the reasons the whole concept of such is no longer well thought of by serious gun people. If you point a gun at someone it says I intend to kill you. Discharging that gun is makes that intent crystal clear.

Wrong as usual a warning shot (of which I disapprove but for different reasons) is clearly aimed away from the other person. And you ignored the part about how the smart thing to do is leave before it gits to that point.

There is no way to make shot both a warning and "away" from the person you want to warn. Are you actually telling me that if you fire into the air or the ground it isn't a warning shot? Too many movies.

I don't really believe in warning shots, but as far as I'm aware it's the noise as much as anything else that's meant to scare someone off. Kind of like racking a shot-gun.

Yep, as you no doubt noted I don't believe in warning shots either ( although if there are two the second one gets a warning shot) because you move the muzzle away from the person and because the one person you won't shoot is the one you want to scare, that bullet has to come down somewhere. According to the course the Montgomery PD provided for new cwp holders Alabama law (prior to those "terrible" stand your ground and castle laws) required a warning shot even when in yourown home. One of the instructors, however, pointed out that when the police arrived they had no way of knowing if the round in the ceiling was the first or the last one fired as long as the intruder was pleading his case before a much "higher" court.

Is what the guy was doing to that tree (i.e. pissing on it) REALLY going to do something bad to the tree? If the guy was taking a piss on the front lawn, backyard or anywhere within sight of civilization....THEN....the homeowner would have a decent argument. But out in the middle of nowhere woods? Trespassing is what? A $25 dollar fine in most states? Does it warrant a lunatic with a shotgun, firing: A) In the Air, or B ) Firing at people? No and No. That's a person in SERIOUS need of a mental health specialist. Besides, shit like that, undermines gun ownership by Americans. Landowner: "What the hell are you doing, dude?" Guy Taking Piss: "Just taking a piss and getting back into the boat. Sorry to intrude!" Landowner: "Oh.....ok.....bye...."
