Self Defense
Self Defense-A Revolution?
There are two concepts making the political rounds in the area of self defense that are revolutionizing the whole concept of self defense. If these concepts are enacted into law they will put a huge dent in crime in this country which continues to be among the worst in the world.
The first is called the "Castle Doctrine." This concept enables a homeowner to defend himself, his family and his property from an assailant. The bill allows for deadly force when a burglar enters your home without fear of prosecution.
The second is so called "stand your ground" bills which were first enacted in Florida in 2005. They are now being considered in 21 other states. The bill allows citizens to meet force with force to defend themselves if attacked in public. This concept also protects would be victims from prosecution.
In places like Washington D.C. and Great Britain where guns are prohibited the crime rate has gone thru the roof. Burglars and other criminals are emboldened by the
thought that they can't be shot while pillaging the countryside.
These two concepts will put a long missing fear into the hearts of the bad guys. From now on there will be an immediate price to pay for their crimes. If someone chooses to become a criminal as an occupation then getting shot will be nothing more or less than an occupational hazard. It comes with the territory of being a criminal. Criminals have choices too, maybe now they will think twice about making crime their career field.
It is about time that lawmakers get behind these ideas and help reduce the crime rate in this country. For too long criminals have had more rights than ordinary citizens, home and business owners. That has to change!!.
