Vice President Kamala Harris, a self-described gun owner, told Oprah in a live-streamed interview Thursday that she is not afraid to shoot someone in self-defense.
“If somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris said. Laughing, she continued: “I probably should not have said that, my staff will deal with that later.”
Ed.: Remember: don't take self-defense advice from democratic candidates. Just because someone breaks in doesn't necessarily mean you can shoot them. Generally, Castle Doctrine grants the *presumption* that deadly force is justified, but that presumption may be be rebutted in court. Know your state laws, and consult competent legal counsel. |

| Sorry editor, my wife and I are in our 70's. If someone breaks in their will be gunfire without determining their purpose. It is illegal to enter a home without authorization. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
