this is what the case will hinge on if a prosecution occurs.
Two blocks from my house...well ain't that nice. Man probably saved one of the other neighbors the trouble!
The suspect has been identified at 17-year-old Timothy James Rivera of the 200 block of Furrow Street 21223. Rivera has been charged as an adult with first-degree assault, theft, and related charges. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
I disagree with what you say ...........My personal feeling is that none of my property is worth taking a life.....
Most states now have some sort of Castle Doctrine, but as far as I know (with the exception of Texas) no state allows for the use of deadly force to protect property - so it's not just Maryland.
That's o.k., you are not the only one that does not agree with me. To me, protecting personal property with deadly force equates to putting a price on a human life which I am not prepared to do.I disagree with what you say .......

I wonder who might be willing to test Chad's mettle on this by approaching his SOTAR trailer with lockpicks, pry bar and maybe some bolt cutters...
Nobody here I'm sure. He worked damn hard to make it and bring it all together.
How would any of us feel if it was our new car or motorcycle or even our ATV. MY GUESS IS YOU'D DEFEND IT.
IMO, you would have a good chance of being in the right IF there was deadly force present AND there was a threat with/by same. Even in the not so free state...
Thanks for the invite - I am in for Mission BBQ!I respect your opinion.
I see you are not in my meats/pillows karma. I hope we can agree that at least one of the establishments is worthwhile and you will enter:

The best part is. The vehicle in question is owned by the spouse of the shooter.. she was getting ready to leave to go to work.. what would have happened if she alone went outside to get in her truck to go to work... How would the news story read then? "Woman attacked and murdered in drive way of home; no suspect, no motive, Police currently investigating."
Well said, Lord Chad
To take the 'in the home' thought a little further...
I carry more often than not on my little quarter-acre of freedom. If I'm in the back yard, hear a commotion in the front, there is no reason under law for me not to go around the house to see what's up. If I'm confronted or threatened on my property outside the house, it's still a threat.
I shouldn't be forced to go THROUGH the house, wait in the doorway, and only react once the threat comes indoors.
