    Realities of Self Defense and the Law

    I am also glad to see this thread level out to some good advice rather than misunderstandings and insults. One of the biggest challenges in learning about guns and self defense is to ignore everything that is seen on TV and the movies. Not that is the influence for Kylaen, but most newbies...

    Man with CCW arrested for carrying in CO theater

    Charges are dropped against the man carrying in CO movie theater. Wonder if he'll sue for false arrest? http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_21267924/charge-dropped-against-man-licensed-gun-thornton-theater He did nothing illegal, and being stupid isn't a crime.

    arreseted in NY for possession of preban. D, felony

    This is New York State, the judges are no better than the cops. He will be lucky to avoid felony charges and will have no recourse against the arresting officer. It really is a different country in NYS. Nothing will happen to the officer. The arrest will be a blemish on his his record, if he...

    I do support gun control...

    False dichotomy. Not an either or. The government doesn't provide solutions, only more restrictions. The government doesn't pay for things, tax payers pay for the government to pay for things. We don’t' need another government bureaucracy, the NRA does a great job at educating gun enthusiasts...

    Lethal force to defend property?

    I can agree with this. It's just the difference between Western frontier justice versus English common law. Its odd that we revolted against English oppression, yet we adopted their basis of law. In present times, England and many progressive US States have don't even allow a homeowner the...

    Lethal force to defend property?

    I think of this as "where America went wrong", where the lawyers and courts have given criminals more rights than the property owners. The saying goes that a human life is worth more than property. I believe that a thief's life is worthless and deserves to be shot. It would defnitely cut down...

    Colorado question on workplace policy

    Yep, and this illustrates where c-y-a policies (and some laws) become absurd. You get packed to go camping for the weekend to leave right from work. Stop by the grocery store to stock up the cooler during your lunch break to save time. All ready to take off from work for a weekend in the...

    Colorado question on workplace policy

    Is your parking lot on company property? It sounds like it is, but that is a deciding factor. Their property, their rules. If its a public parking lot, then their policies don't hold much weight. Is this company likely to perform searches on cars? I've worked for companies that...

    why is taken down gun not NFA?

    Can the gun be fired when it's taken down? 2 halves of a legal gun don't make 2 complete NFAs.

    A scenario that has me thinking...

    I've got the answer... I would tell the attacker that I have a gun and I don't wish to fight. Any further physical confrontation from the attacker would be reasonably seen as him trying to over power me to get my gun. He's going for a gun (mine), I shoot to stop the attack. Next...

    A scenario that has me thinking...

    This is a serious question. If ignorance is no excuse for violating the law, then how is a lay person supposed to know what the law is? Do lawyers think they have a monopoly on reading, comprehension and common sense? I am a reasonable person, and I make an honest effort to read and...

    Crap ammo ? or good ammo?

    Stay away from American (aka AMERC) ammo. The one box that I bought had several squib rounds in it. If a squib round doesn't leave the barrel and you shoot another round, bad things will happen. This ammo is different than American Eagle brand. I don't know if AMERC is still around, this was...

    If being assaulted what would you do?

    I would never assume that a stranger that suddenly attacked me, unprovoked, is unarmed. Especially if the person is the same size as me. And I'm not that big, or tough. The person would have to be crazy, stupid or have a weapon or friends close by to make such a bold move. A gun isn't the...

    renewing my permit in a different county

    You should notify the office that issued your CCW permit that you are moving. This is usually required within 30 days of moving. Then when it comes time renew, you go through the same county office. This is how it 'usually' works, your state laws may vary.

    Open Carry in Boulder, Colorado (Disorderly conduct?)

    It wouldn't necessarily fall under a "grandfathered" law, as that what state wide preemption specifically addresses. However, Denver, Boulder and several other cities fall under the 'Home Rule' status. This basically means that the city can decide that any state or federal law does not apply...

    I think they stole my gun? advice needed

    Send that letter certifiied mail and receipt requested. That usually gets results and avoids the "what letter did you send?" response. Also, document the date that you shipped, and a log of your phone calls.

    gun noise and indoor range etiquette

    If that caliber is allowed at the range, I don't see it as rude. If someone is offended by loud noises, the gun range probably isn't the place to be.
