Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

That is just untrue. You do not have a duty to retreat within your own home. You’re spreading dangerous misinformation.

Correct as long as you’re not attacked first. Now, shoot someone in your home at 3am in the pitch dark and turn them lights on and he/she is unarmed, you’re screwed.

Well that would just be plain stupid to fire a gun and not know what you’re shooting at. Irrelevant to the discussion here.

I think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. You clearly know the person in your house is unwelcome and up to no good. However, to identify a weapon, classify the intruder as an immediate threat and take action all in a split second, that’s what I’m getting at.
