Gun With No Ammo

Key word here is "notwithstanding". Basically the federal law trumps any and all local/state laws. However you must always be passing through any jurisdiction where the gun would be illegal. It only needs to be locked if it is accessible from the passenger compartment. If you put it in the trunk of a car, or a jockey box, it is no longer accessible (unless you can flip up the bed) and does not need to be locked away.

 

That could be a very dangerous situation. Why on earth would you carry a gun and no ammo? If you carry a gun and ever have to brandish your weapon you better be prepared to shoot! This is basic gun owner ship and is the first rule in carrying a concealed weapon!

 

If all your looking to do is target practice alot of gun stores with ranges will have guns they rent out that you could use. Not sure on the cost but its an alternative to carrying your own and dealing with all the hassle of company policies, which states allow it, and from what i've read alot of the shipper and receivers dont allow firearms on the property

 

Bad idea. If you have to shoot someone, you shoot to kill. The last thing you want to do is hit someone in the shoulder and get sued because now the fool is disabled. A slick lawyer can have a bleeding heart jury feeling sorry for a home invader because now, "he can't care for his family" and they will award him everything you own. Shoot to kill or don't shoot at all.

Did you know that you get more CSA points for a bad trailer tire than involuntary manslaughter?

 

I dont know where you took a CCW class or got your info Mitchtazz but like triplesix said, you only pull that gun out to kill. Center mass shots and empty the mag. If you shoot them and they dont die, chances are your going to prison because they can get a lawyer now. DEAD PEOPLE CANT HIRE A LAWYER TO SUE OR TRY AND HAVE YOU SENT TO PRISON!

 

Yep, you wind up in court, on trial on the lawyer's turf. The punk you shot is looking all sad faced, arm in a sling, with a woman and a bunch of dirty children saying "I love you daddy". All of a sudden, you're the bad guy. Never mind you caught this fool in your house, stealing your stuff. You have just deprived this man from being able to get a job that he could care for his family with and you should be held accountable, you evil gun wielding homeowner! Shame on you...he was only after your 57 inch flat screen. He did not mean you and your family any harm. You are a cruel and malicious person and should pay back for the grave injustice you did to this loving family man! You lose everything. Your home, any property. Suddenly you and your kids are out on the street, living in the dirt. And you be kicking yourself.

Or you can do the whole world a favor and shoot him dead and never be bothered.

Someone now is going to state laws in their state about how they have the legal right to defend their property with deadly force. I'm not going to argue that, all I am saying is if you do shoot, make absolutely sure they're dead.

 

actually in the end it doesn't matter if you kill them or not, you may very well end up on trail if some one cares enough. a person just has to be ready to defend themselves to the public and know on which terms they're going to do it.

if i shoot them in the shoulder and they don't die, yes of course they have the chance to take me to court and try to argue i placed hardship on them, but i could already argue that the hardship they're experiencing was already apon them before i pull'd the trigger seeing as how he was trying to rob my home, my caslte, the place my wife and childern are supposed to sleep soundly at night, not worry about someone coming through the window with a crow bar. (gotta make sure you say it like that on the stand, that way it make them look like the bad guy for disturbing the peace you worked so hard to provide for your family).

now if i shoot to kill, whats to say that one of their family members won't be dragging me to court saying it was unnecessary, that i could have call'd the cops, or just yell'd at them. Zimmermen kill'd in self defense, and look how that's working out for him. He didn't have a strong arguement so now he's sittin in jail.

Heck if i wanted to and had a strong enough arguement i could shoot a robber in the leg and then shoot each big toe and each thumb off and still manage to walk. Then again, i could be running up my stairs from a robber, and he trip over a throw rug and roll back down my stairs and find my self doing ten years (hopefully parol in three, out in 1.5 with good behavior).

If you think back to all of the home breakin's and robberies where the robber made out like a fat cat, the odds aren't in the home owner's favor, not unless they spit out the coin for a good lawyer and have a strong arguement.

 

The odds are in your favor when the other eyewitness is dead. Need a second opinion? Go ask any lawman you see.

 

Once again, ask George Zimmermen how that is working out for him. You're going iff what people say, i'm using actual events. If you can explain why George is in jail even though his attacker and only witness is dead, then I'd agree with you.

 

Mitchazz all I can say is if they are in your house or your occupied vehicle, the castle doctrin is what keeps you from getting sued and prosecuted if they are dead.
