If you trespass or want to pillage, you will probably get shot. Trespassing will get you shot in every state. Castle doctrine just codifies it into law so prosecutors can't arbitrarily haul people into court. Here in NY state, you can kill trespassers once they enter your home, but if you live in a city or county with a very liberal anti-gun DA's office, they'll pretty much look for reasons to arrest you.

The Colt 45s Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Things are pretty chaotic here. Major freeways are closed, about 300,000 homes without power. I have had friends evacuated by airboat because they were trapped in their home. Our church is flooded because nearly two feet of water fell in less than two days. Tropical storm is being pushed back out to the Gulf, may strengthen again, and will make landfall a second time by Wednesday. One thing the people back home in BC need to understand that there are nearly 6.5-million people here, and the Houston metro is over 10,000 square miles in size. There are problems all over the city. But that being said, Texans are a proud and strong people.

For comparison sake, the Vancouver metro area is about 1,000 square miles. Edited August 27, 2017 by jmfaminoff Punctuation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed Alflives, seeing seniors like this always puts a lump in my throat, so glad they have since been taken to safety and dryer surroundings.

ynwa Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I can only watch this in horror and hope that they can get as many people as possible to safety. When mother nature cracks the whip we humans are shown to be not quite the supreme beings we perhaps think we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
