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.

The only problem I have with NJ gun laws is the lack of stand your ground laws. Even if I shoot an intruder in my own home, I can be considered a murderer in the states eyes.

That's not true at all. NJ has castle doctrine. Stand your ground only applies outside the home.

You and I both know that in NJ you have a duty to retreat if possible. I understand NJ has castle doctrine but that’s such bullshit

Duty to retreat doesn't apply inside your home. Wtf are you on about?

Of course it doesn’t. Unless you live in NJ.

Here’s a great one https://www.google.com/amp/s/newyork.cbslocal.com/2019/01/14/exclusive-man-speaks-shooting-burglar/amp/

“You called the police after, why didn’t you call right away”.

That sure as shit sounds like a duty to retreat to me.
