How much you wanna bet this guy gets a slap on the wrist and continues to enjoy his guns? Any takers?[Sgt. Steve ] Licis said nobody was hurt. He said the shooter likely will face a charge of discharging a firearm in city limit.
Licis said information would be sent to the prosecutor's office to determine if any other charges are warranted.
Licis said Missouri's Castle Doctrine, which allows residents to use deadly force to protect themselves and their property, would not apply in this case because there was not ample reason for the man with the gun to believe he was in danger. Licis said the two men knew each other.

The news article said that the property owner fired his gun to force the other man off his property. As always, the circumstances aren't given, so who knows what the actual reason was, but my sympathies lie with the owner, in the absence of more information.
ReplyDeleteGreg Camp's sympathy would lie with the owner if said owner had hog-tied the "trespasser" and dragged him into the cellar before shooting him in the back of the head. At least until such time as the justice system had determined that the shooting was not consensual adult conduct.
ReplyDeleteYou're a moron.
Interesting. MikeB, typically you question whether intruders needed to be shot, saying the holder should have called the police, shot him in the leg, or given a warning shot first. In this case, that's what the guy did when he sent a shot into the ground. I thought you would be for an outcome in which no one actually got hurt.
ReplyDeleteDemocommie,
ReplyDeleteAnd just how is that? I never said that the owner should have done what you describe. That wound't consitute self defense.
Someday, just for a diversion, you ought to try talking about what I wrote, instead of what you wish that I had written.
Not My Real Name,
ReplyDeleteThe anti-gun crowd here hates it whenever any private citizen has a gun. They'll tell you that they don't mind hunting and target shooting, but look at their comments about how they can't walk in the woods during hunting season. We need to be clear about their real goals, and we need to stop them always.

You're fucking paranoid.
As you stated elsewhere, you didn't start carrying a gun until you were "older". Paranoia is, unfortunately a progressive disorder.
You have demonstrated, repeatedly, that if the cops don't have teh videoz, then it's only their word against the gunzloonz. The suicide at the firing range thread was emblematic of your delusional thinking.
One of the many things I'm beginning to become more curious about is how you find time, throughout the day to come here and comment. You don't seem to have any problem with doing this 24/7. Now, for those of us without jobs it's a bit easier but I'm starting to wonder if you're actually what you represent yourself to be.
Democommie,
ReplyDeleteSuch interest in my personal life. . . I didn't know that you cared.
Why don't you focus on the ideas and stop attacking the person?
Democommie,
ReplyDeleteBut since you asked, this weblog is one of the sites that I visit when I need a break from grading essays or working on my novel.
Greg said, "The anti-gun crowd here hates it whenever any private citizen has a gun."
ReplyDeleteWrong. I hate it when a gun owner misuses the gun and you justify it.
Also, I hate hunting and feel that target shooting is simulated killing.
All of it's designed to feed your fantasy. I disapprove of all of it, yet since it's a free country, I'd only disarm those who are unfit.
Mikeb302000,
ReplyDelete"Target shooting is simulated killing." Indeed. Do you prefer us to be unable to hit what we intend to hit? A lot of stray rounds are better than one carefully aimed shot?
We have to practice to maintain the skill. If you oppose that practice, what you really oppose is the skill itself. Thus my claim that you are against private ownership of guns. Read your comment carefully. You may not actually intend to ban private ownership, but you don't like it. You'd like to see it gone.
You're damn right I don't like it, Greg. But what I object to even more than the practice itself is the denial of what it really is. At least you seem to be OK on that front, and perhaps you're starting to get an understanding of what my position actually is.
