My typing always gets horribly spell checked on these things. Please bear. Here’s a quick link. Obvious bias from Texas, but it is still something similar to what I’ve seen before. https://www.medlinfirm.com/blog/has-texas-open-carry-law-increased-gun-crimes/

Reminds of the apparent car thief that took my mother’s gps but not her car when the keys were in it along with plenty of valuables. If he was 16, then it’s weird to first try him as an adult. Uh, could you at least recommend restraining order and maybe mandatory therapy / anger management or something like big brother?

Yes, it’s about being domicile. Technically, house-sitting and hotels count. Though, they would have added stipulations like the cleaning lady is allowed in at some point.

Stature? If SYG was considered, your husband would be cleared by me. Proof of the baby nearby is all that’s needed. You also say it like the guy who attacked was over 18, but with a mild learning disability at least. Asperger’s is no longer a thing and we’ve had presidents with speech impediments. Paid damages and a restraining order from the fam and are of attempted robbery.

SYG works will retreating fails. You didn’t break into your own house or stalked your own workplace, etc. I find it funny how the open and carry states get safer once the law passes. It’s truly a weird phenomenon. In the U.S., I think if consistently stand by our stereotypical principles of individuality, freedom to do anything that isn’t harmful to others, and Wild West responsible gun ownership, then it can work. We sadly don’t and keep the rhetoric of white supremacy and poor people are horrible people blah blah blah nonsense. Also, how many are mentioning George Zimmerman in the comments? His case was definitely an exception that shouldn’t have happened considering what he was told not to do to his meek teen neighbor.

I was kind of shocked to learn that. It doesn’t work very well in tantrum with castle doctrine. Considering behavior of the common dope in our state, a toned-down version of Stand Your Ground would benefit people like myself.
