This is unfortunate, but depending on the actual circumstances of what happened, the shooting may be justified. If the drunk woman was violent, the age differential is great enough that it could be argued that deadly force was justified.
At 80 years old, falling down can mean your demise, if...
Barrel only has to be HBAR if you possessed the lower after 1 October 2013. If you the lower in possession prior to 1 October 2013, you don't have to have an HBAR. This is assuming that you're building a rifle. If you're building a pistol, it doesn't matter.
It was California, the bill was voted on last year in 2017 and passed around a 60/40 margin. Anytime Californians see anything about ammo and firearms and some sort of restriction, they will mindlessly vote to restrict.
Last I heard, a judge had put a stay on it, due to the fact that it...
Absolutely correct.
What many don't understand is that the Constitution was ratified on the basis of having the Bill of Rights be part of the Constitution. If you were to repeal the second amendment, you'd have to repeal the whole Constitution.
Unfortunately, many people have taken this view where somehow the initial act is considered acceptable or less severe and secondary actions that follow from the primary action are worse. It's a flawed mindset.
Sensationalism and a misunderstanding of how shooting to stop the threat works. That's it.
You can blame the media, Hollywood, etc. for how they depict the effects of firearms. Many people's only exposure to firearms is through media, so their mental image of how someone getting shot works is...
They currently wouldn't. I am not a lawyer. However, the law that was passed has a long term goal. The CA politicians are playing the long game in terms of ammo enforcement. I've read that some predictions for this law are based on getting ammo purchasing estimates for the first few years as a...
It would depend on the lawyers on each side, but second degree murder would probably be the most severe charge, or it could be manslaughter, felony murder during the commission of a crime. It also could end up with nothing.
I wonder how that would work in terms of state vs. federal election. If you're in a state that has legalized marijuana, would that mean that you could vote at the state level and not the federal level?
The ATF updated the 4473 because different states were making marijuana legal. It's surprising that the state is actually enforcing federal law, especially if it's already medically legal. It's one of those situations where they just let the courts sort it out. Unfortunate, but it should also...
This seems to be a trend that's catching on for gun ranges, turning it into a high level country-club type feel with varying levels of membership. Depending on the training cadre, it might be worth it.
