This works for me as long as they are slaughtered immediately on release.

One of the many reasons i have a closet full of 00 rounds.

That’s virtually a hate crime in this sick state. Newsom was kind enough to release a large number of them during his 2 years of lockdowns and mask wearing mandates.
They can break into your house and you are not legally allowed to shoot them unless you had reason to ā€œfear for your lifeā€ (must be armed). They are also allowed to sue (and have won) in civil court if you are unfortunate enough for them to have lived.

I need to leave this state.

  1. They would have a weapon :slight_smile:

  2. NEVER let them live if you shoot them inside your home.

Funny story from law school - our torts professor (who I am still friends with to this day even though he leans left on some things but is reasonable and logic minded) was going over self-defense and how you can be sued if they live.

I raised my hand and said so as a matter of legal principle you should never let anyone live that your shoot in self-defense to avoid litigation?

He paused and said legally - yes, but morally probably not.

I’ve also heard the argument that if you draw a weapon in self defense you should always use it. If you don’t use it, then maybe you weren’t really in fear for your life and were just brandishing. By using it, you prove that you were really afraid and didn’t have other options. So putting it together, if you draw a gun, don’t put it away until they are dead.

Didn’t know whether to put this here or ā€œThings that make you chuckle Threadā€

But what we all knew finally gets some light shed on it:
The Liver King Lie - YouTube

Analysis of emails sent to Derek starts about 32:40 (rest of it is the usually bashing on Liver King stuff). Basically, emails to this bodybuilding coach just prior to his social media takeover indicate is his on Winstrol, Test, MK-677, IGF-1 and HGH…
I mean, we all knew this, but goes to show how gullible and/or ignorant people choose to be since a bunch of his followers truly believe he is natural.

I will give him one thing - he is a hell of a salesman.

I would highly recommend you seek out Andrew Branca’s work. If you pull out a gun an your attacker immediately breaks off their attack to run away and you shoot them in the back, you are going to prison for a long time.

I’d say this is completely false.

You can draw your weapon to ready yourself if your life is threatened, but the moment the threat stops, retreats, or is no longer a threat - do not shoot.

It is always situation and fact dependent, but drawing your weapon and not discharging any rounds can be justified.

This happened in Florida and the shooter is in prison. Video showed his attacker backing away before he was shot.

There was an incident along these lines in my area a couple years ago. An angry, possibly drunk boyfriend advanced on his gf’s dad with a shovel or pickaxe or something, the dad shot him once, he fell down, dad comes up and shoots him again. Boyfriend dies.

The first shot was self defense, the second one made it a little more problematic.

The dad was a wealthy farmer who posted his $1 million bail in cash. Probably was able to afford a good lawyer. I don’t really remember what ended up happening though, or if a verdict has even been reached yet.

EDIT: It was resolved last spring.

At least justice was served there.

If you are serious about the legal aspect of self defense with a firearm check out Mr. Ayoob’s work. He is one of the most respected authors in the field.

For sure don’t listen to any legal advice I give. Especially not in a thread called, ā€œThe Stupid Thread.ā€

Just shoot your shotgun in the air to scare them off.

Joe Biden approved.

Not really Stupid - but a great song that points out modern hypocrisy:

Well… the way modern hip hop artists present themselves… full of face tats and piercings…

To ME it looks dumb and could/should be posted in a thread about stupidity. Is it supposed to be a symbol of toughness? If anyone gets into a scrap with someone like that an easy ā€˜win’ is to pull on the piercings they’ve placed in their chin, nose, eyebrows etc…

Not a fan of autotune either.

Lyrics are good, but from what i’ve heard this guy is a provocateur and doesn’t necessarily believe what he says… he’s purportedly a liberal, albeit he could be one of the centre left individuals (becoming increasingly rare) that despises political correctness. Bill Burr is an example of this.

The mainstream left in countries like America are trending further left while the right are going further right. The closer you edge towards political radicalism, the more the ā€˜truth’ gets thrown out the window in favour of censorship, and biased narratives.

Try arguing with someone who fundamentally views the dynamics of reality in a different vein to that of yourself… it’s emotionally exhausting, but that doesn’t mean it’s ok to cancel that person… cancel culture has gone WAY too far.

Imagine if one complains about left wing PC culture and the associated cancel culture but then goes on to say one shouldn’t even be allowed to talk about identity politics. As stupid and annoying as the PC stuff is, pandering towards the opposite extreme and advocating for extensive censorship is no different from what the far left are doing. Both sides are guilty of polarisation here.

You are trying to suppress the narrative you don’t like… that’s also what the woke are doing. As this guy intelligently puts it, there’s a difference between HATE speech (that should be censored) and speech that you hate (shouldn’t necessarily be subject to censorship). We don’t necessarily need an echo chamber. If someone is trying to force a conversation with you that makes you uncomfortable… as one person feel free to shut them down and say ā€œI’m not comfortable with this conversationā€.

But this shouldn’t =/= everyone needs to stop talking about whatever makes you uncomfortable

Good song… but the guy looks absurd and he uses too much autotune.
