Not if you are a felon. Because that whole shall not infringe thing means nothing.

The law is an ass, as Mr. Bumble said. It is time for people to demand that one’s home is sacred and that anybody, breaking in should be shot or stopped with deadly force no matter what the reason. This is absurd. Libs have ruined freedom and protection for the victims and given the bums more rights. And oh yes, this was another black punk. Invading an 80 yr. old black hero.Where is the ACLU for the man . I am sick of the criminal class, which nowadays is far more minority than anybody else being protected by PC rules. I want to see conserv lawyers, law groups demanding changes in these so called deadly force cases. The burder should be on the perp not the victim.In fact, I hope every burglar , every home invader is killed period.

Mr Wright is correct. But self-defense is still illegal in Chicago.

Blacks who vote support Dems by 95% but most blacks don’t bother to vote. So it is more than likely this guy didn’t vote for Obama. Not saying he wouldn’t, just he didn’t.

Also, since he can’t own a gun, he must be a felon, and felons can’t vote.

Shot an intruder in his home. Sounds like a proper gun use to me. Let me on that jury.

Won't be a jury. The government and their agents will threaten him with 30 years in a government prison, and will convince him to plead guilty to avoid even more punitive punishment, for his own good, or else!
