I think it means that if you were in your home and have had a drink and some clown breaks in and you shoot him it’s your fault that he broke in.
Also, suppose you use your gun in self-defense in the house and in the course of the investigation the police discover that you have beer in the refrigerator or a liquor cabinet, I think the law would then be used to prosecute you.
We should never underestimate the overzealousness of anti-gun prosecutors.
It wouldn’t take a very good attorney to make the “beer in the fridge” excuse irrelevant.
If I’m driving home from the liquor store and get pulled over, having unopened containers in the car can not be used against me. Same thing here.
I’m not saying I’m for this law. I’m just saying that it really would not be all that impactive on most people. It would be a little like the “stop and frisk” thing.
Why do the media never say that the guns used in a crime are non-registered illegal guns?
