I would likely put my holster on and open the door to assess the threat, if unarmed I would beat the living hell out of a couple individuals. If I assess a threat the pistol comes out and we will see who is the better shot. Before anyone says internet badass. As a former golden gloves and collegiate wrestler that is still as big/strong as most SEC linebackers and a graduate of High Risk Personnel courses I am more than capable of handling myself against 99% of the population.

I think it might be appropriate to fire off a warning shot... its interesting that these mobs dont do this in the south.
however as the old saying goes it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

There is not a jury in the south that would convict somebody for killing these thugs in that situation. But, it would never get to a jury.

I get your point. But weren't they on tv?

Not going to say I put it passed some people but to physically harm someone while on TV would just be dumb.

Apparently you missed my point. If someone is at your front door what's the first thing you say? Leave or I'm calling the cops.

You don't just blast through the door. Use good sense or you'll end up answering threads on the computer they give you in cell block C.

You are also a fool of the highest order.

You and your holstered weapon are going to do a lot of good against a 5'5", 120lb meth head with his gun already drawn. Also, your holstered gun isn't going to do any good, when Cletus, Tyrone, and Elroy jump your dumbass when you open the door, and while you are using your extensive hand-to-hand skills against Cletus, his two friends will probably be beating your skull with a a baseball ball bat.

The correct response is to protect yourself, and your family. If someone is trying to get in your home, you take whatever prudent actions it takes to get them to stop trying. If a window breaks and a hand is reaching in to open the window, you shoot. If a person is throwing their body against your door, trying to bust it open, you shoot. Any other reaction makes your odds far worse. Bad guys don't fight fair and will not take an arse whipping if they can end your threat to their goal.....whatever that might be.

Is it sad that I dream of Antifa banging on my door just so I can mow them down with my AR?

I think that scenario may just happen before it's all said and done. The Left is going to push the wrong guy one day.

I would suggest looking up your counties sheriif and judge. SAN Fran firing a warning ahot into the air might get you attempted murder.
Texas Rural “he was stealing gas and we know he’s been causing problems ‘round here.” Probly ok with a proper inestigation

You can use deadly force to protect life, not property.

Some jurisdictions require retreat, the requirements of which vary by jurisdiction.

In short, if someone is breaking your door down then yes, you can use deadly force in some jurisdictions but not all. Seriously, your question is one that criminal law professors like to put on exams.


Here's how it stands in Florida's Stand Your Ground Law:
Florida Statute 776.013 says that you may defend your home or occupied vehicle from anyone trying to unlawfully gain access or entry to it by use of deadly force. Should this kind of incidence occur, you do not need to retreat or fire a warning shot to scare the intruder.

If you are in your dwelling or car, you are usually considered to be defending yourself not your property. Home is typically used to refer to occupied dwelling. I’m unfamiliar with the Florida statute. I would think a definition of home would be in the language.

How did this thread get to three pages without someone citing dumbass Biden’s advice? You know, blast off a warning shot from your 12 gauge and everything will be fine.

That sounds like a good plan for you but not one I would follow. Trust me that I know exactly what I am capable of.

In the closet off my front foyer I keep a Mossburg loaded rock salt/rock salt/no. 4/slug/no. 4/slug. I would expect most intruders to run like hell after getting salted but I'd be ready and willing to escalate.
