Being a responsible gun owner actually starts with a pen rather than a firearm in your hands. That’s part of the message taught at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Concealed Weapons Permit Class that took place Saturday. Sgt. Joe Hersey leads the class in hearing what is and what isn’t allowed by law, how to carry a gun, gun safety, gun holsters, safety tactics, how to handle law enforcement in a traffic stop, where guns are allowed and where they are not, in addition to how to shop for, care and clean a gun. |

"[T]he “Stand Your Ground” law does permit shooting someone as they are walking away or fleeing a situation."
That's either a misprint or a dangerous way to read the law. In a prosecutor's view, the evaluation will be if a jury can be convinced that said 'someone' ceased to be a threat and the Castle Doctrine is thereby mitigated.
'Just sayin'. It depends on the politics of the prosecutor in your jurisdiction. |

QUOTES
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") |
