SIDE STORY:

My brother had a job assignment where he traveled from Sunday to the following Friday. He'd be picked up by a limo to be taken to the airport on Sunday, leaving his wife and 12 year old boy alone for the week. They lived in a suburban/farm area. It wasn't totally isolated, but there was a good deal of land between houses and even more important the police.

On one trip to the air port his limo driver was commenting about the surroundings and if my brother ever worries about crime when he's gone. It really must worry you to leave your wife and kid all week.

Well, it MIGHT have been casual conversation from the limo driver. On the other hand it could have been just his way of casing the joint.

I do worry about that, he said. I'm worried that my son and I go hunting on a regular basis and he can kill a buck at 250 yards standing up - much farther laying down. I'm worried that someone would try to break in and he'd defend his mother with one of his rifles and kill someone. I'm VERY worried about that, because I'd hate for him to live with the consequences of the shooting - no matter how right he was.

It got real quiet in the limo. I'm not even sure that limo driver ever picked him up again. LOL

This is DEFINETELY something we need here,these days all lower crimes are done by a perp and one or two minors,the minors handle the gun becouse our fauty system makes it so that perp is not related to their crime,so if the kids shoots someone they only go for juvenile jail,and worse,once they complete 18,no matter how long he was sentence he just get out of the juvenile back to the streets.If bandits were responsible for the action of the minors i doubt they would be enlisting them.

My former state attorney general had it right:

In AZ if you are a juvenile at 16 and you commit a violent felony it is automatic adult court. If you are are 11-14, a judge decides which you go to. We keep you till 21 and AZ doesn't purge juvenile records until you are 25 minimum and they count during adult sentencing.

It should be the law in every state, that repelling a home invasion should be presumed justifiable self defense.
It took the Supreme Court to get one city in particular to recognize the right of a citizen to even posses a usable handgun in the home for self defense. You could have a get this a "locked and unloaded or disaembled handgun" to stay on the right side of the law.

Looks like he's attending TWO funerals this month. Zing!! Kidding aside I'd much rather read a "Mom defends home" story than a "Mother killed in front of her infant on the day of her husband's funeral" - or whatever his intent was - story ANY day.

I am quite surprised...even if it is the law, seems the police is quite cool in such cases, no ? a friend of mine lives in Sao Luis and it told me some stories about burglars disappearing after the police chased them or after having been shot at in their try to break in a house.No trial for anybody .

"Hi, here's your newspap.."
BOOOM
"Oh Mr. Officer, my eyes always look like this, i would never take drugs"

how many GamerScore does she get for the Achievement?

Can't tell you about as i don't know,i suspect you mean sao luis do maranhao,sao luis is a popular name for state,municipes,and neighboorhoods,lol.
brazil doesn't have (luckly) much home invasion,and when it does generaly they are aware the owners aren't at home, i know here in rio,the police did disapear with lower bandits,now with so many scrutiny not so much,drug traffic provide too much of income for them to bother petty thieveries against home and pedestrians,only when the police rain down on them, you see the pedestrian and car theft rise.
