I've been shooting their +P .45 HP's and 30.06 ammo for years.

GREAT ammo at a GREAT price.

Be gracious, and let the perp have his choice of filling...45ACP, 5.56 or 12ga 00 buck. I would say that I might just shoot to wound, but that would most likely leave me with the perp suing me in a civil case. Stop 'em, pop 'em and drop 'em.

“Tracers work both ways.”

or my car itself for that matter. Call me crazy if you want. IF my Family's safety or mine was involved, that's another story.

I carry several depending on the day. But think about this for a second. Are you really willing to kill someone over an Ipod and $.70 in your cup holder?

Are you willing to kill a child over your sunglasses? 'Cause I'll bet you a steak dinner its someones precious little darling (who mama says never does anything wrong) just out for a thrill and some dope money.

Id rather tan their tail and have mommy and daddy come get them from the pokie.

Now carjack me... Diff'rent story. The last thing that will go through someones mind would be a hollow point....

If you are found here tonight... You will be found here tomorrow... Interpet it however you like, if it makes you feel any better... Gun control means using both hands, and being able to place your rounds based on the situation, no one said anything about smoking the kids.. However my question to you is as follows.. Its 3am your front door is suddenly kicked in by two assailiants. One Immediately starts to loot the place, the other starts to clear the premisis, and is headed straight towards the bedroom in which you occupy, What would you do??? Lets make it multiple choice shall we???

1. CALL OUT "Who is it???

2. Ask them how old they are???

3. Pop em and drop em??

Good Luck and GOD BLESS....

Ill take answer D Alex. Call out, "which barrel do you want"????

Seriously, I really hope your just playing because your on the intro-net.

And I hope you got a light on that gun of yours and the sense to use it properly; How are you going to feel if you pop your kid coming home late (or your brother stopping in late unannounced from out of town... all these and have happened), because you just started sprayin and prayin instead of using your head

To be more in depth since your taking the Ignorance category. You have every the right to shoot someone who kicks in your door because you have a reason to believe that they are there to hurt you.

But you better have the sense to identify your target and not just blast away in the dark.

And my brother is not going to kick the door in... Ill take ignorance for 200 Alex...PEACE

Lets go back to the topic, your vehicle. Kill someone for taking your GPS, and the family of the dirtbag will own your GPS and your flat screen and your car and your house...

You might not be charged with a crime by the police but bet your sweet fanny your going to civil court. (yes, im very well aware the law says your immune, but ill get to that one in a minute) And if a lawyer finds out the garbage your spouting on here, that your all for shooting first, kiss everything you own good bye. All Over what? Things that can be replaced by insurance?

then read this:

hottopics/gacode/default.asp

§ 16-3-24. Use of force in defense of property other than a habitation
(a) A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he REASONABLY BELIEVES that such threat or force is NECESSARY to prevent or terminate such other's trespass on or other tortious or criminal interference with real property other than a habitation or personal property:
(1) Lawfully in his possession;
(2) Lawfully in the possession of a member of his immediate family; or
(3) Belonging to a person whose property he has a legal duty to protect.

Pay attention to the Capitalized words. Can you shoot someone for going in your car? Sure, but you'd better justify (TO A JURY) why you think it was Necessary and Reasonable to put two rounds in Jr's head instead of yelling "Get out of here".

Before you load your gun and start carrying it around guys, you better do like Insayn here and do your homework. 10 to 20 minutes of reading boring code is well worth avoiding 5 to 10 years for murder.

The code in Georgia is much better for those of us who pack than it was two years ago thanks to organizations like Georgia Carry. The code allows for very specific situations when the use of deadly force is authorized and after you pull the trigger it's too late to check the law.

Believe me that none of you want to count on Scott Ballard failing to do his job the day you come into court after some of the things that have been said about him on this forum.

GA Carry is a good organization.

Here's a good site that puts the codes into plain English and are easier to understand then going through the GA Codes and Gen Assembly Bills.

Its up to everyone who owns a gun to be responsible with it, know the laws and be proficient with it. That includes knowing what your aiming at. Knowing your backdrop. And using good judgment. And remember Gun Control means hitting what your aiming at it.

Great clarification.

HONK IF YOU ARE PAYING MY MORTGAGE

I have a key to my parents house.

Early in my marriage, my husband and I got into some pretty nasty drag out fights. Late one night, I was fed up with him and got it into my head that I was going to leave him. I jumped into my car with my daughter, who was an infant at the time, and drove to Hampton to mom and dad's house. Half way there, I realized that it was 3 a.m. and my parents have an arsenal.

Not wanting to risk getting accidentally shot by my dad, I turned the car around and got a room at the hotel across from the courthouse in Fayetteville. It ran me about $70, but was well worth being safe. I went to my parents house the next morning and spent about a week there before going home.

The moral to the story is that those who know you are armed should make the proper choices to avoid accidents. And those that don't know you, don't need to be going into your house at 3 a.m..

Peace to you too.

Too much to ask of some on this blog though, of course i would not shoot a kid, unless the kid was armed, or made a move after being hailed to cease and desist. Of course one would not just start blazing away in the dark. However if someone comes to steal my stuff, or rob me point blank, they had better come correct, for i work to hard for what little i have, and yes as Insayn says, even though a shooting may be justifed, it still leaves you open to being defendant to a civil suit, cause little Pistol Starter was just playing gangsta and would not hurt anyone acording to Moms... Pop em and drop em, anything less and you are saying its ok to steal my stuff....PEACE..

It does seem to me that anyone who is against an individuals right to bear arms seems to suppose that those individuals are trigger happy and lack proper judgment. They don't understand that most wish to never have to use their weapon and most assuredly would never kill someone over an ipod. Good grief!

If you're a hot head - then, by all means don't carry a weapon. The rest of us should not be ostracized for embracing the civil right to protect oneself and having sense enough to be responsible about it.

For now, I am exercising my right not to have a fire arm in my home. Maybe when my 6 year old son grows up a little and stops taking apart everything in my house (boys!!!) then I'll consider having a gun on my property.

I thought my life was in danger

I was afraid for my life

I thought I saw a weapon

I was afraid for my life

I thought I saw a weapon

I was afraid for my life

I thought my life was in danger

I was afraid for my life

I thought my life was in danger

I was afraid for my life

This is what cops want to hear, live it, learn it, repeat it.

There're some cities that I drive through in which I have these same fears.

If someone is on your property after midnight they aren't there to wish you a good night.

I wish I could go to the party on Sat night. Have a good time.

I wish I wasn't in New Jersey tonight.

when you wished you were in New Jersey?

The best part of the NJ turnpike is when you reach the sign that says, "Welcome to New York".

What makes me happy is when I seen that sign on the Jersey Turnpike with the airplane emblem on it.

I almost didn't make it out today because of a "mechanical". The flight was 3 hours late. Maintenance took care of the problem and everyone was able to re-board.

I was even given a seat in first class. I declined that seat and instead gave it to a person in uniform. God bless them all.

to someone in uniform is truly flying "First Class" in my book.

Thank you for doing that.

After being told to freeze... Works everytime.... GRAN TORINO.....PEACE...

I like how you think.

I was told many years ago to always have an old knife or screwdriver wrapped in an old kitchen towel or tee shirt for just such an occasion. The reason for the towel is not to keep it clean but to keep all traces of yourself OFF OF IT. That means no prints, sweat, lint and/or blood, anything that can be traced back to you.

You want to make especially sure that it doesn’t even come close to anything you may already own. It must be bigger, smaller, different color or style than anything in your house or where you work.

Mine are a couple of old gnarly, dented and scratched-up Buck 110’s that I used in the construction business eons ago. I keep one wrapped up in an old dirty washcloth in my garage and the other in a rag in my glove box. I haven’t touched either in years. I just keep them there for the day I might need one of them.

If you don’t already have one, go to the store and buy a new one and then trade it to one of your neighbors’ illegal landscapers for his old one. DON’T TRADE WITH YOUR landscaper; use your neighbors or better still just stop when you see a crew working somewhere else. Remember, the older/dirtier the better. You can also pilfer one from a restaurant if need be, just leave a bigger tip if you do.

As has been stated earlier, you ARE going to have to prove to a jury that you thought your life was in eminent danger regardless of what the police report says.

Above all, DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID! If it's not you, your wife/husband, child or some innocent other person DON'T SHOOT! Your GPS or iPod just isn't worth it.

One other thing, Christmas in prison sucks.

The police say to hide the valuables.

Great!

What the police SHOULD say is, "Your car is your property. If you find someone illegally entering your automobile to steal your property, please pick up the nearest branch, baseball bat or piece of rebar and beat the helll out of them. This will not only deter criminal acts, but save tax dollars."

Am I right?

And to continue from my post above.... Im also all about kicking little johnny's sorry butt back to his momma, but how about we all try this idea first?

LOCK YOUR DOORS.

if we did that we take the chance of being arrested for aggravated assault by the stormtrooper cops.

In Liberty,

DarthDubious

I forgot to add... Just make sure they are facing towards you when the hammer drops.... PEACE

I agree...if I see an intruder rummaging through my car, I would run up to him and beat his ass! A car is definitely an extension of your property and becomes my octagon ring if an intruder is present. Anyone going through it illegally is fully aware of the consequences involved. A beat-down is one of them. beatdown
