We agreed to disagree…..but to hear someone defend their stance on the matter, without subject of judgement or ridicule to my stance, or hers……it was refreshing.
As I remember, our conversation never achieved hypothetical situations but we both walked away having respect for each other.
I’m not sure what lead her to the starch/stark mindset….. I didn’t questioned it.
He should be thankful he wasn't in Rankin County Mississippi than it would have been full blown redneck bullet to the head brutality.
Look - if they are taking things that don't rightfully belong to them, they get what's coming to them. I don't go rob people not just because it's wrong but also because I know there could be lethal consequences. I wouldn't steal anyway (in normal circumstances - I get that sometimes people must get super desperate) Noone is forcing you to steal or to break into someone's home or business.
If you break into my home - prepare to be met with lethal force.

Oh I’m not arguing that it’s gonna cost me/you or that I want to pay that, but I’m perfectly ok with a POS dying who breaks into someone’s house to steal something.
That’s exactly what people have to consider when they decide to carry guns for protection. That consideration has to be done long before you find yourself pointing a firearm at another person. Even in MS deadly force is only allowed when there is a threat or an implied threat of death or serious bodily harm.
some people have no sociably redeemable value - the caveman would have either killed these people or forced them from the tribe where they surely would have been killed
In Mississippi, the law states that you are allowed to use defensive force if another person has or is in the process of forcibly entering your legally occupied property. This is not restricted to just your home. It can extend to a business, place of employment or a vehicle.
Mississippi has a stand your ground law that removes the duty to retreat before using deadly force in defense of oneself or another as long as the person is not the initial aggressor and is in a place they have a right to be
What is the Castle Doctrine?
The Castle Doctrine was passed in Mississippi in 2006 and exists as an amendment to the country’s justifiable homicide law, which varies from state to state.In Mississippi, the law states that a person is allowed to use defensive force if another person has or is in the process of forcibly entering the former person’s legally occupied property. This isn’t restricted to just a dwelling. It can extend to a business, place of employment, or even a vehicle.
A portion of the law states that homicide is justifiable in certain circumstances:
- Any degree of force, including deadly, is permitted as long as a person is attempting to defend their personal space and/or are facing potential imminent death or great bodily harm if they do not do so.
- Civilians are able to use lethal force, whether by hand or weapon, to defend against a person trying to perform a felony attack on them, such as murder, assault, or rape, or to protect someone else.
There is an actual threat and implied threat when you break into someone’s house.
Why do we protect criminals over innocent people? Why would you even want to?
I can relate to this. When my brother and I were younger, we fist fought all the time. He cheap shotted me one time and I couldn’t catch him to beat his a**. I waited until he got in the shower. I snuck into the bathroom and he was singing while in the shower not knowing I snuck into the bathroom. All I could see was ankles sticking out from under the shower curtain and how was I gonna get him back. Our plunger was sitting next to the toilet. I grabbed it and beat the hell out his ankles. He was hurt. I went to the living room sat down, watching tv, and laughing my a** off.
I saw him go into his room and comes out with a rather large hunting knife saying he was gonna stab me. I took off running and never caught me. I guess the store owner knew everyone’s weakness is beating anyone with a wooden stick into submission on their ankles. I’m sure that it is painful.

I've had a lot of liberal friends, some from overseas, that thought guns were evil. I've also had some friends from outside the country that were way more conservative than me and told me gun ownership was one of the reasons they came to the US.
I've enjoyed many conversation with both groups about guns. I was talking with a couple of my British friends about guns and told them, "Guns don't kill people." They looked at me like I had lost my mind and asked why I said such a ludicrous thing. I said, "the bullet kills them and it can't find the person without the person holding the gun." I've found that most people that grew up in a big city hate guns. The only time they hear one they know something bad is happening.
On the flip side, where we live we hear guns going off all the time and don't think anything about it. I respect everyone's opinion on guns. I just don't respect anyone that wants to take that right away from American citizens.
