          New York is a castle doctrine state. That guy who shot those kids who pulled into his driveway, his private property, just got convicted and is going to prison for a long time.

          Be careful, folks. The dude who enters your home could just be a drunk. Use your brain before bullets.

            You mean the guy that shot someone who wasn’t breaking into his house or being a threat was found guilty? Color me shocked that an event wasn’t protected by a law that didn’t cover what happened.

      No, you lock yourself in a defensive position and call the police. Hunting baddies in your dark house is statistically more likely to result in you shooting your kid who tries to sneak out.

      Or you just die, because the home invader has the drop on you.

      Its always cute to see people mind-palace how they would John Wick their way out of an armed conflict.
