Question about wheel lock

.... and then you'd get raped by the state in court if they catch you.
you may want to reread "own a gun and stay of of jail"
(if you want to stay out of jail that is)
page 114 defending property:
no deadly force to protect personal property

of course if you are in desolate area you may get away with it
but would you feel well living with a knowledge that you
shot some **** who only wanted to steal your fancy rims
and worrying if you disposed of the body properly or not?

 

I don't think anybody would think too much. At the time I was living in
one of the most crime ridden areas of Mass. Another drug user off the
street...eh...

Maybe the rest would have learned...but I doubt it.

 

In TX, you are completely justified in killing someone to defend personal
property. Only state in the union that this is so.

Not a good thing, IMO, but it does serve as a deterrent.

 

Getting there in Arizona. A homeowner may assume mortal danger if facing an
intruder in his home, whether a weapon is seen or not. Changed to that last
year IIRC. In Phoenix a few years back a car owner was not prosecuted for
shooting a fleeing man who had been trying to break into his car.

The first apartment I had, in Oakland CA, was in a very rough neighborhood.
My apartment was burglarized three times in a two week period, but nobody
ever bothered anybody's car on the street. A quick death was too much to
hope for if caught.

Ok. I realized the book quoted is tailored to california law.
As the texans would probably say:
"california ... where women are like women... and men
that way too"

yep. oakland comes across as a screwy place to live in.
what were they hoping for if they get caught in the apartment?
just curious how different that's from screwing with someone's
car.

 

In the apartment they were expecting to dispose of the residents quickly and
privately. They wouldn't come un-armed, you know. It's all a matter of who
gets the drop on whom.

Oakland was certainly screwy then, dunno about now. When I lived there the
police sent up their first helicopter and it was shot down. Those were the
days of Angela Davis and the Black Panthers. The police were just another
armed gang roaming the streets. We had a race riot in my high school, and
the police refused to come on campus. A few months later the school library
was firebombed and the police still wouldn't escort the firemen on campus,
so they (wisely) didn't go. It's a good place to be from.
