I agree with this 100%

For the scenario, to me, PC §9.42 is fairly clear the requirement is that one reasonably believes the use of deadly force is immediately necessary "to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escapin...

First I lament my poor decision(s) that led to my loss of SA. Then I drop the wallet instead of handing it to him. If he's after your money he'll grab the wallet off the ground. If he's intent on harming you in addition to getting your money, then your in bad shape no matter what you do. Dropping th...

I'm torn between two courses of action here: 1) Remove and PSB's and store them separately from any firearms. Don't register anything. 2) Buy a bunch of pistol length AR uppers and register them as SBR's with my PSB equipped lower(s). I will likely wait a couple months to see how the legal appeals p...

At what point are the courts going to start requiring judicial pre-review of proposed gun restrictions like they did for voting laws in southern states during reconstruction? It seems like there is a very clear pattern of state and local governments that are willing to trample on the civil rights of...

I work for a Fortune 100 company. Our attorneys believe white letter on glass will hold up in court and we post on all our buildings in this manner. I agree it's unlikely to be tested. To me, the relevant question would be "what color is directly behind the glass?". If it's a white wall, ...

So to further my hypothetical, let's say that a new resident moves into town and mentions to someone that they did, in fact, vote for Biden in the last Presidential election. They are immediately arrested, and imprisoned until their case is heard. Since they obviously violated the law, as written, ...

The real question to me is "does an obviously unconstitutional law have any force of law"? For example, let's say that a small town somewhere passes a law that says "anyone who votes for a democratic candidate is guilty of a felony punishable by a minimum of 30 years in prison"....

IANAL, but I believe this AWB has no legal effect sine it is clearly unconstitutional on it's face. Of course, someone will have to go through the unreimbursed expense and other pain of being the proverbial "test case" first.

I'm wondering why the shooter left the bad guys fake gun on the table. It seems like he would have taken it with him if he was afraid of legal consequences. I'm assuming here that he could tell it was fake by the weight if not the feel. At any rate, hopefully this will work in the shooter's favor if...

This case raised few more questions. First, it happened in Texas. We know, the Texas law justifies the use of deadly force in those cases. Second, there is no higher force than deadly force. Add to that, If I recall correctly, and please prove me wrong if otherwise, the law does not limit the actor...

Lettering on glass is not a valid sign regardless of location. The rule requires contrasting colors. Glass is clear. It has no color. So it isn't a valid sign. This has not been decided in court. At this point, it is only an opinion based on the reading of the law. I agree this has not been tested ...

Give the circumstances: Report of a man with a rifle at a house. Upon arrival the police hear two shots. A man with a rifle appears at the corner of said house. Although the man did not point the rifle directly at the LEO, the rifle is at a low ready in the general direction of the LEO. So, is the ...

I found this story interesting. In what realm is this weapon a "rifle", much less an SBR? Given that it's Maryland, it may be illegal regardless, of course. https://www.foxnews.com/us/maryland-teen-found-sleeping-ar-15-taken-custody-police-bedroom?dicbo=v2-46c310f54fc7327daa661de4bc557250
