Defending Property During a Riot?

[.45 ACP]

I would use whatever force was necessary to end the threat.

End the threat?!!! That's pretty darn aggressive. You better watch out, the CIA may want to take your computer.

No where did the OP mention them in his question. You and others added that in to justify your boasting about how willing you are to start shooting people.

Who was boasting? Does it really bother you that someone is willing to use lethal force to defend their family? I clearly said in MY ORIGINAL post that if me or my family are threatened I'm dropping bodies aka ending the threat(s). Who gives a **** about some post I never made which you continually try to go back as if that's going to make any pertinent point to what I'm actually talking about. But since you may be a little mentally slow (I don't judge), let me repeat it for you again. If me or my family are threatened by a mob during a riot, I have two choices. I can attempt to run, or I can attempt to fight. Sure, if you're 300 yards away from a business and I see the rioters setting fire to my home or business building, what can you do? But more than likely, you will be very close to or occupying the building in question and if a rioter forcibly tries to enter either by physical force or tries to burn you out using incendiaries as they have done in many riots, you have two choices; run or fight. In fact I can't think of many scenarios where you can actually defend a building you own (home or business), and you're NOT inside of it, unless you are randomly passing by just as a rioter flings a molotov onto the roof or some other rare contrarian fantasy scenario like that. You can continue to act and play ignorant and act like rioters will play nice as long as you wave nicely to them as they pass by your home or business, but I leave the fantasies for the children, and prefer reality like an adult.

Regardless, you've let me know exactly where your heart is in the matter and that's okay. Some people are simply not cut out to stand up for themselves, and let others do it for them. Some people will defend themselves, some people will look up Penal codes on their smart phone, while desperately dialing 911 over and over again. That's okay, I won't judge the weak.

I don't know Steve but I doubt he is going to desperately keep dialing 911 in a situation as you described. Your a joke.

How cute, which one is gleam and which is .45... My hunch is that's gleam talking and .45 doing the camera work (.45 is too high speed low drag to be filmed).

Speaking of love connections, I'm glad you found your soul mate Packy. Now you two can browse youtube videos together. Cute!

I think you meant "You're" a joke.

I don't understand why "your" feelings are so hurt that you've resorted to looking at youtube videos and trying to imagine me in them. Did I hurt your feelings somewhere in this thread?

Glad I could help!

I didn't find the video, keep up .45, I know it's tough but overcome.

Dang passing the buck and ditching your brother in arms so quickly? But you guys worked so well together, playing story time and imagining scenarios about me and Gleam. Well, I know someone who I wouldn't trust further than I could throw them in a SHTF situation.

You're obfuscating.

[AceGirlsHusband]

OP, there are some things you just don't need to ask about. If it happens, you'll know what to do.

He didn't find it either. Maybe look up a few spots on the thread and figure that out genius.

omgwtfbbq is not your bro? This could get awkward. I don't want to get involved in this lover's quarrel. I'll let you two figure it out. Later guys.

Everyone has their own way of admitting defeat.

With all of these riots going on, it has me thinking about what would I do if there was a riot in my neighborhood. Then it had me wondering what can I do during a riot?

I saw mentioned in one story a shopkeeper standing in front of his store in Baltimore with a shotgun. I know during the LA riots, some Korean shopkeepers protected their stores with rifles on the rooftops.

As far as I know, there are no exceptions to the open carry laws even during a riot. Is this a case where law enforcement will understand and not charge you? Or should you expect to be prosecuted afterwards?

For the sake of argument, lets say someone is brazen enough to try to break your windows and steal your things right in front of you as you are holding a shotgun. What do you do then? Would it matter if you are in front of your house or your business?

Not sure of the laws regarding Business owners, but typically can't shoot someone for stealing stuff, of course if you can proved that a person was trying to harm your person or was armed then I think your justified.

Think with your feet and your suitcase.

How much time are you going to spend with the family and how money in that retirement pension do you think you're going to enjoy in San Quentin?

I have a healthy respect for a few men who calculated the penalties & possibility of civil unrest and left California soon afterwards without remorse or excuse.
