MI: Gun owners say they buy for protection, but harm is more likely

Tracy Lawrence was making coffee around 6 a.m. one day last June when he glanced out a window and, to his shock, saw two teenagers casing his yard in rural Jackson County.

Although it was nearly summer, they were dressed in stocking caps and heavy coats. One was near Lawrence's pickup truck; another near his garage.

Lawrence grabbed his .22-caliber rifle and stepped out on back porch.

"What the hell are you doing?" he yelled.

The two 18-year-olds took off. Lawrence ran after them and fired his gun five times. He told police he didn't mean to hurt them. But Hunter Lentz dropped dead with a gunshot wound to the head. Matthew McMillen was killed by a bullet that ripped through his back and tore his aorta.

Good case for jury nullification. It was a bad shooting, but the results were positive.

As far as the "harm is more likely", my guns absolutely provide protection with negligible probability of the adverse outcomes mentioned in the article.

Law abiding means that a person should know the laws! This person did NOT know the laws that he should have! Jail time!
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. — John Stuart Mills
