Answer 4

You better check out the local gun laws.
It's a Democrat State & Democrats don't allow Citizens to protect themselves or their families.
Democrats usually side with the criminals.

Answer 5

If your life is in danger, protect it. Would you rather die, or protect yourself? It's a lousy state to live in for this situation, but it's better to be alive in court instead of dead with a crook on the loose. If you protect yourself, you are not just helping yourself, but society and the police for that matter. Just think about what you would rather have.

Answer 6

I don't know about buying guns and permits but I do know that you cannot shoot someone on your property. That is an old mis-used lie. You can only use the same amount of force that they are using on you, no more. I'm an attorney and I'm sure of this fact. It stems from an old case where a guy set up a spring loaded thing to attack anyone who came on his property and they found you can't do that.

Answer 7

Best check with local laws on the internet>>?Best safe in your home you have a right to defend yourself just find out how far you can go>>?Does & don't>?On self defence
