Evidence for what? That people die in armed robberies? Do you seriously need statistics posted to believe that people *do* die in armed robbery...
Yes, I know. I understand the silly argument we're dealing with here. ;) The other side in this argument almost uniformly A) has no actual...
Hit it once or twice and it probably would. Smack my head once on the pavement and I will damned skippy put one in your chest, and any jury in...
Yes, because robbers are always rational, and people never die as a result of armed robberies. :rolleyes: Dude, you're getting stupid here.
If someone walks into a store waving a gun around you do not KNOW what sort of person he is, whether he's just a robber or a killer, too. Very...
For starters, Zimmerman was not told to "stand down", the dispatcher asked if he was following Martin and he said yes, dispatcher said "We don't...

You can't have CCW without some form of SYG. CCW merely allows you to carry the weapon without being arrested and charged, SYG comes into effect...
Er, no, the protections do not extend to someone who is committing a crime. King, who was on parole, was driving drunk and trying to evade police,...
I prefer to keep him. I think the plan is to keep him, and give him his payday w/ Bird rights when due. As for us not having the assets that...
Oh, and those with a CHL are FAR less likely to commit a crime than those without one....
Have a look at the drop in violent crime rates. Keep in mind that population has increased drastically since 1995 when Texas passed concealed...
If a random stranger points a gun at you then they have committed a crime, and they are no longer protected by either castle doctrine or stand...
Because without CCW laws SYG laws are more or less completely irrelevant, unless you're trying to count the numbers and incidences of people...
