I love how the right always blames the media for false reporting and then they do the exact same. The story says he had 2 prior gun convictions. This probably meant he was not LAWFULLY allowed to possess a firearm. Hence the arrest for UNLAWFUL USE OF A FIREARM.
This is it exactly. He's not in trouble for shooting the guy breaking into his house--he's in trouble for having a gun to begin with after a NUMBER of previous weapon and robbery convictions. All I can do some days is shake my head at the STUPID things people here say.
Comprehesion is a critical reading skill in understanding the content of a post.
My post is about Stand Your Ground laws and the many *******s attacking them.
You're the one with the comprehension issue.
That is the "Castle Law", someone breaks into your home or place of business you should be able to shoot them.
SYG in FL has people getting shot and killed in road rage incidents and neighbors arguing over something minor who end up dead.
Last year one neighbor shot and killed the other on a Saturday afternoon with kids playing around them, all over a teen skateboarding on a basketball court, which was against their HOA rules(oh the horror!).
Two weeks ago in Tampa two drivers pulled off the road to "discuss" their road rage incident, one ended up dead. No charges.
And all they have to say is "I felt threatened", whether it is true or not.
If the shooter felt threatened then why pull off the road?
