Teenage gunned down through a closed door in broad daylight
Is there no end to gun killings in America?
Until someone comes up with a test to keep idiots from being able to buy one, probably not.
From the perspective of a gun owner, here are the mistakes made by the home owner.
1) he fired through a closed door without identifying his target.
2) He fired through a closed door without identifying his target after he had already called the police.
3) He fired through a closed door period.
Most states have what is known as "Castle Law" based on old English law that basically means you can defend your home and property from intruders with clear hostile intent.
Now, this means that if the intruder is INSIDE your home with the intent to do you harm, you can blow their shit away and keep firing as long as they are twitching more or less.
As long as the would be danger is outside your home, you wait for cops to show up.
Now in rural areas, it is a bit different, you can use deadly force if someone is trying to steal livestock, damage barns or outbuildings, but it is generally preferred that you try and at least attempt to detain them.
Of course you can just load a 12 gauge with rock salt and let fly with that if you really dont want to bother with detaining or dealing with the paper work of killing someone. (you can also add flakes of hot pepper to the mix for an added burn.)
To continue, in many western states, it is perfectly legal to shoot someone cutting fences.
In Alabama Castle law extends to your property line, stand your ground takes over there. Of course there has to be some threat. Like trying to steal your car, or a threat of harm to you.
Well the property that I have the place that I am renovating I have incorporated some biological anti trespassing systems. Along the fence that runs along the county road, on the county side of the fence there is about a 9 foot wide stretch of prickly pear, choya, and other cactus that the county seems content to leave alone, broken only by the driveway.
I have allowed cactus to grow along the other fences to the property as well, thus limiting access to the drive way, which when I move, is going to have some electronics along that.
Then of course they would have to know just where the goods are. There are two sets of building on the property, one is an old Nike SAM site, with semi underground control center and missile storage, the other is an adobe ranch house and barns that date back to 1850.
Both are being renovated. While the adobe is easier to add all the modern luxuries, the old Nike site is easier to keep people out of, I mean four foot thick concrete walls and roof, which is to say I dont have to worry unless I piss off the government.
