I suspect that it’s legal to shoot when someone is rushing your house with weapons or with fire.

If it isn’t, it should be.

If it isn’t, it doesn’t matter. Life or death situation, so in that county you’ll probably do just fine with any jury.

He said there’s a difference between a protester and a rioter and rioting will not be accepted.

Prove it. Nobody has yet. You have the fire power and it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Do we have to wait until these beasts are on our doorstep?

Nextdoor app just said that bus loads of rioters heading to my little town.

Not sure if it is true, but I live in the mulitethnic gun nut capital of the county.

***I knew there was a good reason to own hi-cap mags.***

After the riots of 1967, I I immediately got rid of my slow to load “cowboy” gun and bought a 13 shot Browning Hi-Power.

Grady Judd is great... He is not a Bullshitter. He tells criminals off...

I’d rather be stuck in a prison cell than stuck in a pine box. Antifa shitheads and ferals may want to consider that they’d be leaving me no option.

Anyone breaking into a home is a mortal threat to be dealt with accordingly.

Rules of Concealed Carry in most states says you are allowed to stop aN imminent, deadly threat by using lethal force.

If a bad guy is coming at you with a knife, bat, firearm, or other lethal weapon, you have justification to shoot the individual to STOP the threat. NOT to murder him. FORENSICS WILL DETERMINE IF YOU CAPPED THE GUY FIVE MORE TIMES AFTER HE’s down and disabled.

I want to know exactly who arranged for and paid for the buses that the rioters are traveling on.

I decided to load “several more” AR mags to add to my ready set. A couple of FMJ and a couple with green tips. The Mossberg stands at the ready for closer encounters, and every 9mm mag I own is topped off with JHP as a last resort. I don’t expect trouble, but I will meet trouble with everything I have if it is foolish enough to venture out this way. Our average LE response time is something like 20 min out here. Great, I won’t be the one praying they show up soon. I’ll be the one making someone else pray.

I did suggest shooting the tires and engines to someone.

I gotta go buy a Glock or something. All I have is my BFF’s 357. I have bullets for it, but I am not fast at reloading. She is a gun nut and she has been trying to get me to buy more firepower.

The silent deterrent of gun ownership speaks again quietly

Where you at? You can mail order yourself 80% glock kits. Takes 20 min to make yourself. 30 min if you polish the shiney trigger parts for added peace of mind reliability

Wait until YOU get charged by several adult hogs on your property. See how you like capacity then. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for my AK47.

Your comment tells me you’ve never had to engage multiple targets simultaneously. With an elmer fudd 5 shot rifle, no way would I have gotten out of that alive
