Country:  | Always vote P-38. Hopefully you will be able to own guns after the next presidential election. Oh, P-38, don't commit a felony. That automatically disqualifies you.

Country:  | over here you can get a shotgun licence without too many problems, but i believe pistols/hundguns are outright banned, my dad has a number of rifles (perfectly legally) as well as shotguns............

Apparently this poor SOB had been robbed numerous times and took the situation into his own hands. Don't know the specifics, but at some point in time I think that a man has the right to protect not only his life and others, but also his castle and its belongings. I hope the law does not make his life miserable for such a noble deed.

Country: | He was called Tony Martin and it was a MASSIVE story over here- most were on his side but the law was not, most of the contraversy coming from the fact he fired multiple shots, what annoyed me more than anything else about this though was watching an interview with one of the surviving robbers- apparently the scumbag that was rightfully shot dead was "the nicest guy you could ever meet he would never hurt anyone, he had a bright future ahead of him but his life was brutally cut short" i remember those words exactily because of the simple fact that this little angel was robbing this guys bloody house! it's not like he had to do it to feed his family either (if i remember correctly his mum was on the doll, but that wont supprise anyone), he deserved to get shot! Farmer who killed burglar jailed for life

Country: | In NJ - one of the liberal pinnacles of the nation and sadly where I'm from - you are expected to use lethal forces only as a last resort. Therefore, if you can run away, then you had other options, and would likely be prosecuted. Down here in Florida, you have the right to defend your home, property, and family. If someone is breaking into your house, say not even in your house yet, you can fire through a window and end that turds life. Couple instances of this here in pensacola recently. Sherrif said no foul. God I love the politics down here when it comes to gun control.

Country: | I read about that too. ACLU will get involved eventually and your state will pay big bucks for its citizens rights. Good for Florida.

Country: | over allowed to use "reasonable force" to detain or stop someone commiting a crime, the problem is just how much force is "reasonable" force? i know where the guns are kept in the house and i know how to get at them, i like to think that in the event of a robber in the house i'd have the presence of mind to get one and fire a warning shot or two out of a window or something like that, if he still doesn't go perhaps shoot him in the leg? of course if were actually were robbed it's unlikely i'd do anything even close to that

Country: | If you have the presence of mind and superior eye hand coordination to shoot someone in the leg under great stress, you are a man among men.
