Reply to comment by Indy_420 in Man claims self-defense in Providence landlord homicide by Rogue-Island-Pirate

Also on the whole ghost gun thing, let's say it wasn't a landlord but an actual intruder, would they still charge them for possession even if it was a valid self defense case?

they would. there's basically no way you're skating on tbe gun charge no matter how legitimate whatever else you did was.

edited to add: if the facts as presented are true it was still an intruder, even if she owned the place. kicking in the door armed with goons isn't her right even if the person in there wasnt the legal tenant.

Eyyupp. Just like this new pistol brace thing where we in ri cant have NFA items...the atf's free amnesty tax stamp means nothing here. You'll see those cases getting prosecuted in the future too. Re the ghost gun thing here tho, clearly Mr. Watson opted to be judged by twelve instead of carried by six. Prohibition DOES NOT WORK. Of anything. Ever.

Well, doing time is better than being buried I guess.
