When, exactly, is it legally kosher to shoot someone anyway? Genuine, unironic question from someone who does not own a gun, does not know how to handle a gun, and is extremely uncomfortable around guns. Like, I've heard about people who still get in shitloads of trouble for shooting and killing someone to protect their family (as in, an immediate threat) and that just sounds kinda counterintuitive to the point of being able to own and bear arms.

If you’re rich and white, you can get away with shooting anyone. If you’re white right wing male, you can probably shoot anyone as long as they aren’t richer than you. If you’re a white right wing woman, you can probably shoot anyone who isn’t your husband or kid. Shooting anyone is illegal for everyone else, no matter which state you’re in.

Genuine, unironic question from someone who does not own a gun, does not know how to handle a gun, and is extremely uncomfortable around guns. Serious answer: it depends at a state level. You are looking for the existence of one or both of the following laws, sometimes under different names but generally referred to by these: 1. Stand Your Ground - to varying degrees of feeling threatened, lets you use lethal force in person-to-person interactions. Think Trayvon Martin. 2. Castle Doctrine - to varying degrees of feeling threatened, lets you use lethal force in interactions where your property is threatened. Think of any number of white person shoots minority on their property. There are better, more detailed ways of explaining this, as well as better examples, but that is a shorthand gist of it. You can Google the rest off those terms.

To be clear, there are also states without those laws. There are states where if a bad guy breaks into your house one night and you're holding a gun, legally you have to run away. People also don't realize that brandishing and warning shots are often legally big nos. It really depends 100% on where you are.

There's just something about "just allow people to just completely wreck/steal your belongings and present a threat on your life because you legally have to run away" that fills me with a monumental level of anxiety, jesus. Like I don't have a gun but all that separates me and my apartment from the world is a deadbolt and some easily broken windows so even I have like, a hammer and some extremely sharp kitchen knives and you bet anything that I'll take almost being completely defenseless to being hopelessly defenseless if my life is at stake. I literally can't run to save my life since I have only one way out and I have to go down a stairwell. May as well be a sitting duck. That said, I just looked it up and it seems that Indiana is under Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws. I don't know if that abates my anxiety or exacerbates it though. Oof. Never mind me. I'm just anxiety-ramble-posting now.

It is just meaningless anxiety though. Literally any number of completely random and drat near unpredictable events can kill you right now and you have literally no way to stop them even if you were in a fully staffed hospital/underground bunker. I'd say an armed invasion of a visibly occupied house leading to your death is pretty loving low on the list, these things don't happen that often and almost never randomly. Don't piss off the wrong people though.

I mean I think you are more likely to be killed by a police home invasion than a criminal one Boomers: The government taxing hard workers like Jeff Bezos is wrong and oppressive, the police destroying homes and wiping families off the face of the earth because they might have drugs is good.

Before the laws were distorted by NRA/ALEC poo poo, the idea is that you can use lethal force in situations where it’s a last resort in direct defense of persons and property. This is why booby traps are generally not allowed, for instance. Running away is just a direct example of a situation where shooting someone clearly is not a last resort. If it makes you feel better, home invasions are generally the stuff of conservative jerk off fantasies. Folks who want to rob a house want to do so when no one is home.

Don't piss off the wrong people though. I think I'm just on edge because there's been a spike in shootings in my area lately (and a murder a couple years ago) and there always seems to be SOME domestic problem going on in my building or neighboring building. I realize that as a functioning semi-hermit who talks to no one in the complex I am probably fine but I still cannot help but leave dim lights on at night or when I'm not home. As irrational as I am aware it is, my fear of invasion/the general feeling of being unsafe at home is probably my most prevalent one in my adulthood so it's difficult to shake. Solkanar512 posted:If it makes you feel better, home invasions are generally the stuff of conservative jerk off fantasies. Folks who want to rob a house want to do so when no one is home. And I'm aware of that. I guess my mind tends to wander a into uncomfortable places a lot when it's just me on my own. Also, apologies for the tangent, but I just felt like I had to ask while it was fresh in my mind. Boomers like sowing the seeds of their own anxieties in their kids, to be on topic. My brother's always been wanting to get a gun and is now able to now that he has turned 21 and I really don't like that and worry he's going to get himself into a situation where he feels he needs to use it.

The amount of Boomer's that jack off to idea of shooting home invader that are also conservative Christians is double hosed, like bro do you really think that Jesus that flips the money lenders tables is going to agree that "yeah dude, that person's life is worth less than your TV you should totally kill him STAND YOUR GROUND 'MERICA!!!!!"? The only time I feel bad is when the Boomer blows away their kid trying to sneak back in from going out to a party or something. Just feel bad for the poor dead child not the sick gently caress that probably had a boner when he pulled the trigger

Most people who break into a house to steal some poo poo aren't going to risk a murder charge. When I was a kid there was this old lady that lived behind us who was well into her 70s and some guy broke into her house. She basically just came out of her bedroom and said "Get the hell out of my house." and he ran away. mazzi Chart Czar posted:Boomer jack it to prison rape.

Except that if someone does home invade you it's because they're crazy and have no more fucks to give. So it's still a super scary idea regardless. Also, unless you're paranoid and have guns stashed in every corner AND are awake AND aren't drunk AND aren't super absorbed in the antics of Steve Harvey you are probably going to be killed either way since home invasions by their very nature are a surprise unless you're Kevin McCallister and have some advance warning.

If anything statistics show that you most likely already know your future murderer. They are close to you and they know where you live  Could be your wife, your boyfriend, your brother, your aunt, your best friend even. Best distance yourself from any human contact and install a fortified iron door.

Haha all you dog and cat people are doomed to certain fluff cute deaths! My most trusted pet hippo however shall never betray me!!! (but seriously everyone, be careful taking a shower. Statistically really up there on ways people die. Particularly if you like to ride your motorbike in the shower. Statically pretty much just a death warrant.)
