Is there any reasonable explanation for this? http://www.allgov.com/Top_Stories/V...zens_to_Shoot_Law_Enforcement_Officers_120611
The short answer is, no. I can't bring up the link, but I'm aware of the law. I don't understand why or how it was passed, but obviously there are a lot of people who wanted it passed . There's a huge public outcry, and hopefully the legislature is going to address it in its next session. The sum and substance is that it says that a citizen has a right to defend himself his property against wrongful intrusion by the police. The link above may explain all of this, but like I said I can't open it. It's very dangerous and IMO stupid legislation, and if enacted by one or more citizens likely will result in tragic deaths of police and civilians. I hope it gets overturned sooner rather than later.
I discussed this with my son. He predicts a lot of dead homeowners. The most prevalent calls are for domestics. Now cops will be going in to a heated situation with their guns drawn. Most homeowners, even at a relatively close range, can't hit what they are shooting at and often will hesitate because they are not trained. The cops will not make that mistake....
