Agreed...scratch my surface and I am forced to admit that I cannot in good conscience support the way the present law is written.
Oh sure, let's say you're ne-er do well approaching my car as I am getting myself and my camera gear stuffed back in for the ride home.
You're babbling something about "I need to borrow your car" and your right hand is headed toward your waistband.
Sorry, I might have to dive into the glove box and present you with the business end of a .38 revolver.
Back off buddy, you're not borrowing anything around here, go find another victim.
Say you're knocking on my door at 3 AM and I know for a fact that my kids are home already and my wife's next to me in bed. I'm grabbing a piece and looking at the security camera and if you don't look familiar, my door will not be open to you. Talk to the camera my friend.
Jiggle that doorknob a little too much and you're going to make me want that .38
Try breaking down the door or heading for a convenient window and it's game on.
Say I am closing up shop with a my little bag which is headed for the bank in the morning.
Stay away from me if you have even a lick of common sense. I'm a shopkeeper and you're not getting that little bag. I definitely will shoot you if you ignore my instruction to "kindly get out of my face so I can go home". I went through too much crap today just to hand it over to some nimrod.
Now...say you're some kid wandering down a dark street in my neighborhood and you "look suspicious".
Hello? 9-1-1? There's a suspicious looking guy wandering around in my neighborhood and I don't know who he is.
What's that? You want me to go down a couple blocks and meet the patrol car so I can give a description? Yup no problem, I am outta here, here's what he looks like so you can pass it on before I see the officers. I am in a white Kia Sportage with no spare tire on the back...yeah the "neighborhood watch" guy, you know me.
See you in a couple, thanks!
