October 10, 201511 yr Now there is someone who should have their gun rights taken away. Next thing you know, she'll be shooting jaywalkers.
October 10, 201511 yr I am all for armed citizens and concealed permits but the small amount of effort/training it takes to get a permit is laughable. In other words, earning a concealed weapon permit should be numerous times more rigorous than it is now.
October 10, 201511 yr Only way you could excuse this would be if the driver was driving towards the security or the woman...but since that wasn't mentioned I don't think that is what happened. Sounds like a very very poor decision on her part. I could see her losing the ability to carry in the very near future.

October 11, 201511 yr Author I am all for armed citizens and concealed permits but the small amount of effort/training it takes to get a permit is laughable.

When I took my CCD class I was surprised at how laid back it was but I learned a ton that day and I learned that in situations like the one this woman was in you cannot shoot at someone who isn't losing an imminent threat. Our instructor taught us that we can't even shoot a burglar in our house if the burglar is fleeing the house. The burglar has to pose a physical threat before we can shoot him. Otherwise he can take my PS3 and run and I can't shoot his sorry tail. :no:

October 11, 201511 yr Just make sure you don't shoot him in the back and you're good. "STOP! Turn around or I'll shoot! BANG".
October 11, 201511 yr Doesn't KY have the castle law? If they are in your house fire away. Yes, KY is a Castle Law state.
October 11, 201511 yr Castle Laws are laws that address the use of force when defending one's self inside their home, or on their property. Some states expand this to vehicles, and the person's place of work. Castle Laws generally include: the places where this law applies, the requirements for use of deadly force, if there is a duty to retreat, the amount of force that maybe used in defending one's self or others. These vary widely from state to state. In KY there is no duty to retreat. KY's stand your ground: The use of deadly force extends to an occupied vehicle and anyplace the person has the right to be, as long as the person feels their life is in danger. This law was passed in 2006.
October 11, 201511 yr In KY there is no duty to retreat. Meaning if someone breaks in my house, I can shoot them regardless? Or the opposite?
October 11, 201511 yr Meaning if someone breaks in my house, I can shoot them regardless? Or the opposite? It means where you are, you don't have to back away, some states you have to retreat until you are basically cornered, in KY you don't. If you are standing anywhere and there is a threat of serious harm, you can fire away and not have to back up.
October 11, 201511 yr Meaning if someone breaks in my house' date=' I can shoot them regardless? Or the opposite?[/quote'] I would never fire unless there is a life threatening threat towards you or your family. If people are there to steal, stand your ground and try to run them off, if they are there to hurt or kill, then unload on them. I like to believe that I'm the strongest pro gun person on this site. With that said, this women should be charged. She had no business opening fire.
