Man Shoots Intruder --"Castle Doctrine State"

[tom rambo]

What's the current situation in Ireland re self defense ?

Or defense of your property ? :


"Texas is a Castle Doctrine State

Sometimes the news is encouraging and entertaining !

This burglar's relative says: "At least he could have fired a warning shot first!"

From WTTC News in Dallas, we get this heartwarming tale of long-time criminal, 33 year old Deyfon Pipkin, who was in the process of climbing in a window of a Texas home ...... that wasn't his.


The elderly owner - and former Marine - occupant saw him and fired one shot from his .357 Magnum, abruptly ending Deyfon’s criminal career. (There is no such thing as a FORMER Marine!)

As the police do, they came by to investigate, gathered the corpse, then went to notify Deyfon's family of his unfortunate early demise. It seems that the family were very upset, because they then showed up at the scene.

"That ol' guy could have fired a warning shot," Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins' sister-in-law, complained. "Then at least Deyfon would've known that there was a gun on the property and the owner might use it in self-defense."

COMMENT FROM THE SIDELINE:

"That's certainly true, Lakesha. The home-owner could also have invited him in and given him a beer, then helped him cart the TV out to the curb".

"Unfortunately for Deyfon, Texas is a 'Castle Doctrine state', and the homeowner chose to shoot the intruder, as is the right and proper thing for a homeowner that is being broken into to do in Texas.

"For that matter, Lakesha, you could have warned Deyfon yourself. Why didn't YOU tell him: 'Deyfon, yo' needs to quit breakin' into other peoples' houses and stealin' their shit. One o' these days someone is goins to pop a cap in yo' ass.'"

"In light of the steadily increasing cost of ammunition, coupled with the rising scarcity, a warning shot - especially in Texas - is a frivolous and unnecessary expense."

"And, in this case a substantial savings of taxpayer money was a side result: NO investigation expense, NO jail time awaiting trial, NO expense of a trial, and NO prison costs after sentencing!"

Don't you just love it, when things work out right?"




What would you do if you found someone climbing through your window ? An intruder in the middle of the night ?

What are your rights ? (And what are your desires ? In such case .)

How wrong is that ???

[10inchesandcounting]

Guns are a Final Solution, Only when other Options are Unavailable, There is one very simple Option, Shock. Electric shock delivery instruments are now available world wide, in many shapes and seizes. These gadgets can stop any human long enough to change minds and actions. Hit repeatedly even the most stupidly determined individual can be defended against in the privacy of ones own home,,,,Let an intruder complain to the Police

True, but all these tasers and other defensive devices including mace while being classified as none lethal are also known for killing people more often than not.
Under the current laws, the result is the same as using a gun. Unless your attacker has such a device with him, your defensive response is not proportionate to the attack.
And if he dies or injures himself while being incapacitated or as a result of it, you'll be liable just the same.
Crazy, but that's the way it is

3 guys broke into my place 3 months ago while i was inside, i greeted them with a baseball bat mutherfuckers. Your home is your castle and nobody should ever ever intrude, we work hard and for some bastards to take what you EARN is quite simply wrong.
