In Canada, and on a rural property, I'm very probably safe to do that. Life's different in the country. But in an American city, and assuming we are still talking about the garage, I would not. The police are on the way, and in the meantime our personal space is protected.
you should get back to class spike. I'll leave you with this advice cause even though i dislike you i don't want you to end up dead. If an intruder breaks into you home, don't do this ^
If someone breaks into my house when no one is home,... well there's not much I can do about it, call the cops, the insurance company and contact the alarm company for details and time of the intrusion . But with cars, trucks in the driveway, obvious signs of occupancy and someone breaks into my house? That's a different story, because that individual has already made the decision that contact with the homeowner is a possibility and is prepared......Sorry, I will not allow my wife or children, anyone under my charge, to be put in harms way.
Florida Statue of Justifiable Use of Force - bolded for emphasis 776.013âHome protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.â (1)âA person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if: (a)âThe person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that personâs will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and (b)âThe person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred. (2)âThe presumption set forth in subsection (1) does not apply if: (a)âThe person against whom the defensive force is used has the right to be in or is a lawful resident of the dwelling, residence, or vehicle, such as an owner, lessee, or titleholder, and there is not an injunction for protection from domestic violence or a written pretrial supervision order of no contact against that person; or (b)âThe person or persons sought to be removed is a child or grandchild, or is otherwise in the lawful custody or under the lawful guardianship of, the person against whom the defensive force is used; or (c)âThe person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity; or (d)âThe person against whom the defensive force is used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who enters or attempts to enter a dwelling, residence, or vehicle in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person entering or attempting to enter was a law enforcement officer. (3)âA person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony. (4)âA person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter a personâs dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence. If someone illegally enters a house in Florida with the above law in effect, they take their life in their own hands.
Maybe that's why the conservative is still alive and the kid isn't. If the homeowner was a liberal, he wouldn't waved his hands and screeched like a banshee. The kid would've been spooked, and shot the homeowner instead... then escaped with the booty... Or even better, the liberal homeowner would've run away. The kid gets away with it. Law enforcement does nothing. Kid recruits others, and does it again. Maybe the same house. Maybe other houses. Either way, he learns 3 things - white liberals are pussies, crime pays, and Uncle Leo will never catch him if he's careful... Maybe he doesn't learn the last one, but the first 2 will be tattooed in his DNA...
