I understand what you country dwellers are saying, but you are missing a point. O.K., you have your battle rifle with several 20 round magazines. You see someone approaching at night from 200 yards away and you blow him away with five or six rounds because he is "on my property". So just what are you going to tell the jury that will convince them that you felt in imminent danger of great bodily harm or death? Can you even determine if a person is male or female or eight years old at night from that distance? What if the person turns out to be a 12 year old girl whose family ran out of gas on the road and she's carrying a stick to ward off dogs (like yours that scare the hell out of her) You people are talking paranoid stupidity. What if he is much closer? If he is that much closer what in the heck are you using a battle rifle for? If that person is more than fifty yards away, even if he is armed, don't shoot! Well if he takes aim at you go ahead and shoot, but if he is just carrying a gun, don't shoot. May be he's out coon hunting. You can stop him and challenge him or warn him, but you can't shoot him. If you do you are going to go to prison. If thay person does not show a weapon overtly and is more than 15 yards away, don't shoot, stupid. Having a gun in your hand at home does NOT give you the authority to become judge, jury and executioner. It just gives you the opportunity to defend yourself in dire situations. Juries see dire situations differently than what I've read of your ideas of dire situations are.

Did I miss something here? Where is this coming from? Did anyone state anything remotely close to what you are suggesting?
