I was just noticing a sign in the liquor department of a local grocery store stating that sale of alcohol to a minor is a felony.
Should anyone who sells liquor to a minor be sent to prison for life?
Signing a known-inaccurate income tax return is perjury, and probably a felony.
Should that result in a life-sentence?
Some other small crimes specifically mentioned in this article for which you ought to lose your right to self defense were DUI and those subject to domestic restraining orders.
Imagine the cry about suppressing democracy if they were talking about taking voting rights for these offenses instead.
Exactly. They keep ratcheting up what a felony is. Non-payment of child support is a felony.
This article from the Sun-Sentinel was roundly bashed here about a year ago. The article was written in such a way that demonstrated who had CCW and what their criminal history was but NEVER mentioned their quote/unquote criminal history after CCW.
For instance, the article mentions the guy who shot his girlfriend in the head. Assuming I remember this correctly, he claimed he was cleaning his gun, it went off and the bullet struck her, killing her.
I don't believe he was convicted, and maybe even never went to trial. But the Sun-Sentinel doesn't mention this. Only that he killed her and uses this as an example of someone who holds a CCW but yet has a violent history.
Should his CCW be revoked for an accident? The way the Sun-Sentinel article is written I'd say that's a resounding "yes"!
The usual result is that criminals plead down to lesser charges. It reduces the court load because there is more risk involved for criminals.
However, for the innocent, it makes defending your innocence before a court very risky.
Recording a movie can also be a felony.
