I have a hypothetical question for you. So you wait until they actually break into your house but what if they damage your yard, car, any property items in your yard. Perhaps they damage your home from the street by throwing bricks, molotov cocktails, etc. What do you do aside from calling the police?
What if the police can't arrive in a reasonable time to help?

I suggest that you re-examine the first two pages of this thread. You are demonstrably- and objectively-wrong, but your post will continue to garner upvotes. Such is life on the TDPT.

I AM talking about his first post. You reference a much-later post. HTH

Was not but continue



I asked if the protestors ever touched property owned by McCloskey. Castle doctrine only applies to your property. Does he have ownership interest in the street, or were they in his yard? nobody has even answered these in this thread that I have seen

I missed it. Following it up with that post I made seems to say his point is specific to the law.

But you’ll dance around that now because you’re Aggie-Hank-pot-committed to an inane point that makes no difference to the thread.

I'm sure they did. They are smart people. However they spent 30 years and untold dollars restoring their home from a decrepit shithole without even a furnace to the showplace it is today.

They aren't just going to lay down and call their insurance company. It's worth it to them.

Besides the whole principal of it.

Doesn't look like they did anything wrong, but it was painful watching her pointing that gun around at people with her finger on the trigger.

Oh, they have answered. They just have absolutely no idea whether they are actually correct in claiming that McCloskey has an ownership interest in the street.

The answer is entirely dependent upon the ownership structure of the common areas of the neighborhood. Condominium? Co-op? Probably something like that.

But joint ownership of the streets in “fee simple” in a way that would allow one individual to exercise legal “control” of the street and thereby invoke the “Castle Doctrine?” That seems vanishingly-unlikely.

No. I was responding to the facts of this thread and a specific post. I used that example because the poster said you should never point a gun at someone 20 yards away. These people had already broken down a gate and were trespassing on and destroying private property before he showed up with the gun. So I related to that fact pattern.

quote:

Hypothetically, because I have no guns because my boat sank, if they are outside in my yard damaging my property, but not at my house or directly threatening to harm me, I will let them know that I have a weapon and let them know if they come too close to my house ill shoot them. Then I'll call the cops and let them handle it while keeping an eye on them and my weapon at the ready to defend myself and family.

I wouldn't kill someone over property damage. I have a few friends and relatives that have killed people overseas and they pretty much all unanimously agree it's not an easy thing to do and it's not an easy thing to get over.

quote:

molotov cocktails,


If someone throws a molotov cocktail at my house, that's intent to cause me physical harm, and as much as I'd hate to do it, I'd probably shoot them.

Yes, it was. So has reading the same exact comment over 100 times regarding her trigger discipline.

He's in a private gated community. They ripped the gate down and some were in his yard.

Based on the political atmosphere of today, direct past riots and destruction, and the breaking and entering, this guy could've reasonably feared for his life and his property. And he had a right to defend those.

YES! They made the decisions that they were willing to risk the repercussions that they KNEW were coming.

Someone who knows the area, and has been in there, says it has a keycoded gate to enter.

Try and roll through on streetview. Not even they have been in there.

frick off troll.
