I fully appreciate what you're saying and am concerned that I may have caused anyone here to make themselves liable for any action on my part. If that is so I humbly apologize.
I would not be at all surprised if others decided not to post after reading through your comment because of the potential for liability.
My bottom line is that I don't expect anyone to get in trouble over my issues, so please don't post to this thread if you're concerned about that...
At any rate, ‘nuff said there.
>> Been meaning to respond to you sir. I fully appreciate what you’re saying and am concerned that I may have caused anyone here to make themselves liable for any action on my part. If that is so I humbly apologize.
I honestly meant no disrespect by my post, and no apology is required. However, having been around attorneys a good bit — if it somehow came to light that someone was shot (even justifiably and in self-defense) based on advice gathered at this forum, I can virtually guarantee that someone here would get sued. Whether they’d win or lose, I couldn’t say.
I was only attempting to offer a different perspective on the situation that hadn’t been taken into account. I was simply point out that people ought to think before haphazardly rendering uneducated legal advice in an actual case — particularly one where someone could get shot.

Look, I am not knowledgeable about Minnesota law, and not rendering a legal advice ...
... but, I really would suggest getting an attorney and pursuing a legal (non-lethal) remedy here. Restraining orders, etc. can sometimes be effective. I’d always keep open the possibility of defending yourself — but only as a last resort, and only if your life or the life of someone in your family are truly in immediate danger.
Additionally, discussions like this can be confiscated and retrieved from your computer, and used as evidence of premeditation should a shooting be ruled “not self-defense”.
This is very serious territory you’re treading into here, and I would strongly suggest getting legal counsel knowledgeable about Minnesota law. Pursue all legal remedies possible, and only use self-defense if absolutely necessary.
