New Missouri law protects killing of intruders
Woke up this morning to some interesting news. Well, interesting if you live in Missouri.
Gov. Matt Blunt signed legislation on Tuesday allowing Missourians to fatally shoot intruders without fear of prosecution or lawsuits.
Not all too surprising really. We, in Missouri, like our guns, even when we don’t like them. (I’m referring to our state legislature passing a concealed weapons law allowing people to carry with a permit even though the voters said no).
The measure spells out that people are not required to retreat from an intruder and can use deadly force once the person illegally enters their home, vehicle or other dwelling, including a tent. The bill provides an absolute defense against being charged or sued for using such force.
Why do I foresee a lot of drunk camping/hunting accidents/murders involving rednecks? I mean really, a tent? Does that happen often? Someone breaks into your tent to steal all your valuables? “Well officer, he did try to take my hundred-dollar Coleman lantern. That’s worth more than my trailer. And it’s a double wide.”
Under the old law, deadly force was justified only if people believed it necessary to protect themselves or others from death or serious injury.
Wasn’t that reasonable enough? Now all they have to do is come on to your property? Why do I think Blunt had one too many door to door salesmen or Mormons show up at his door? I can probably think of a few people that I wouldn’t mind inviting over and have myself protected under this new law. I know what you’re thinking, if I invited them, then I’m not protected under this law. Well, how are you going to find that out if they’re spread out over my lawn? (No, I’m not being serious, but I can’t wait until someone actually does claim this).
The measure also gets rid of a state law requiring people to obtain permits from their local sheriffs before they can get a handgun.
Sweet. Now it’s even easier for people to have guns without telling anyone. Gun Control in Missouri is an oxymoron. And don’t give me the crap about owning more guns makes crime rates drop. In Missouri it hasn’t.
I agree with Chris, the problem the liberals from the big cities in Missouri have is that they may never have even seen a real weapon let alone needed to use one and many would say they would never use a weapon to defend themselves at all until the time came and then they would beg for a weapon. Now lets say you don’t live in a large city where patrolmen are cruising the streets all hours of the nights, and your out in the country whre your nearest neighbor is a mile away. Somebody at 1 in the morning kick in you door to steal ( you know us redneck SOB’s have some pretty neat shit in our not so moblie homes, most probably got bigger, nicer homes then this asshole shep) your personal belongings and realizes someones home like a young man with a beautiful wife or a young teenage girl or what ever and they want it. In the country it may be 20-30 Mins before law enforcement gets there and thats if you got time to call them in the first place. Now ask yourself would you hide and hope the intruder wouldn’t find you of or family or would you meet him as he breeched your door and split him in half with some 00 buckshot, I will take the latter and always would’ve. Know though instead of this asshole costing your family thousands in court cost just to prove that yes this guy was going to do me harm, you just go on about your business and one less scum bag on the streets. In the end it may start detering criminals because now the honest homeowner or camper or motorist can defend themselves and the criminals know their family is not going to get rich for it.
The big ol’ cities don’t know nothin bout no guns huh? Correct me if I’m wrong, but St. Louis was marked as the most dangerous city in America last year. We were tops for murders, and I’m pretty sure the people that were killed were not beaten to death with candy canes and puppy dogs. But you’re right, we don’t know what guns look like *rolls eyes*.
Yessir, I bet you get yourself a nice big ol’ home. Bigger then me. At least I’m educated you illiterate dumb fuck. It’s THAN when you are comparing something, THEN when you are talking about time. I’ll stick to my liberal ideas of being educated and using reason, thank you. You can do what it is you do, which since we’re stereotyping here (do you know what stereotype means?), i’m betting is beating your wife while praising the virtues of Jesus and forcing your religious beliefs on others while burning a cross on someone’s lawn. Oh yeah, and the universe is only 6000 years old and Jesus killed the dinosaurs.
Well you know when all of the little ignorant dumbass fuckers went to college to learn how to better spell and write so that they feel good about themselves and can try to be all cool n shit. I was at recruit training learning to defend your smartass way of life you know and I’m sure you in some sick demented way like. I am a Marine and will always be one and will at anytime stand up and fight for the freedoms that You, I and the rest of Americans enjoy. That being said since we are stereo whatever the fuck you said I bet you believe that your a fucking god don’t you, ha ha. Tell you what I’ve taught my wife enough about CQ hand to hand that she can make you dinner beat the fuck outta ya then preach the good book in the backyard. I promise to leave them there guns on the mantle. All I need is my PHD from the good old USMC for old-fashioned ass kicking, you literate dumb fuck. And yes I have been to St. Louis where there are a lot of dipshits and I agree with you that people don’t get killed there with candy canes. All I can say is N. St. Louis is a war zone and thats where your problem lies.
awww, did I hurt someone’s feelings? Yes, education means nothing. Let’s just forget about the whole system and go on with your hunter-gatherer mentality. There is a reason we don’t do that anymore, it’s called progress. Sad thing is, some of us get left behind. And by us, I mean you.
