Not if they are inside your house and you feel your life is in imminent danger. Shoot them in your yard and yah your in trouble.
no. if you shot a bugler you could plead self-defense and get out with probably a warning.
I agree with IdioticCreeperkid, you could get taken to prison, unless the burglar tried to hurt you first, you can't just shoot him lol..
Depend on how you shoot the bulgar,as I know if you should in his back that's not a self defend , you should shoot him facing you
Not if you used it as self-defense, if you just randomly shot the burglar then you would be arrested.
Not if you shoot the burglar first, then immediately fired two warning shots.
I agree with kid. The law states that unless the suspect is attacking you or anyone in your home, and you feel your life and the life of others are in danger toy can plead self-defense. Otherwise you can be convicted. Sad that even burglars can be defended when they break in to your Home
You would be arrested. You would probably be let out on a small bond. Then you would have to show up for your court date and convince the judge that it was indeed self defense. Unless you live in Florida. Apparently down there, you can shoot anyone for any reason and get off scott free. (I'm not just talking about the Travon Martin case. Two more cases of Stand Your Ground from FL have been in the news lately.)
thats so stupid ..if somebody break ur house and dhhhh thats obviuous ..he gonna hurt u ..and u have ur right to shoot him ..but thats so sad ..our gov doenst understand that
Not in MS! search the castle law in MS. It's different from the FL stand your ground law.
if you shoot him in the back then yes youll go to jail. if you shoot him in the front you wont and you can claim self defense and say you were in fear of your life.
We can get silly sometimes! And, as you've probably already noticed, some people just reply with nonsense answers!
If a burglar is in your house it's your option to shoot them keep in mind that most burglaries happen in the city where less people are armed and less happen in the country where everybody has a gun and knows how to use it.First know your weapon and how to use it second remember your surroundings if u jump up just shooting you may do harm to others sleeping or the way houses are built (sheetrock then vinyl siding) consider everything before making that decision in the end just do what you have to do to protect your family and yourself
I'm sorry I'm a Filipino. We don't use this in our daily conversation. I just notice this on ask
