      17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

      As far as I know, there doesn't need to be evidence for a murder. When claiming self defense, you already admit to the killing. The evidential burden is on the defendant to prove the shooting was self defense. So I would ask, where is the evidence that the shooting was in self defense? Edit...

      17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

      The scary thing is if the shooters were reversed, if Martin has shot Zimmerman, it would have been a completely clean shoot. Confronted and attacked by an unknown stranger while you're walking home. THAT is self defense.

      Reasonable Force / Drawing and not firing / Warning Shot

      It may be for those of us with a type 54 BATFE license and a federally approved explosives magazine on the premises.:dunno::laugh:

      Reasonable Force / Drawing and not firing / Warning Shot

      That's pretty much what I was saying. The code makes a pretty distinct line between reasonable force and deadly force and when they can be used. I would never physically confront a BG. They are BGs for a reason. And in the case of the neighborhood watch thug, the BG can often get the upper hand...

      Reasonable Force / Drawing and not firing / Warning Shot

      IC 35-41-3-2 Use of force to protect person or property Sec. 2. (a) A person is justified in using reasonable force against another person to protect the person or a third person from what the person reasonably believes to be the imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person...

      17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

      As a new guy, can I expect every single thread to degenerate into a "I hate liberals" love fest?

      INGO HAM radio thread - official

      Here's a nice online seminar/class/presentation on storm spotting. I found it very informative. 2009 webshow I have a Yaesu handy talkie that I take mobile with me for emergencies, but I hate it. Way too many features crammed into a tiny radio with limited buttons. Each button has 4 functions...

      INGO HAM radio thread - official

      I'm a lowly no code tech, although I can copy and send code at 20wpm. I'm mainly into skywarn, so I have no want or need to take any further tests. I keep to the 2 meter band with the lids.

      17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

      I think the guy is guilty as hell. However, all the 911 tapes show is that the captain made very bad decisions that lead to an altercation. Unfortunately, we don't know what happened after he hung up the phone. Complaints were filed against the captain with both police and the HOA. Apparently...

      17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

      To me, common sense dictates this as the most likely scenario. The simplest explanation is often correct. That being said, we live in a country where evidence is needed to convict. And while this may allow criminals to walk free, I'll be very grateful for it if I'm ever on the stand. I fully...

      SKS or AK

      I'm in the SKS camp for civilian use. The AK replaced the SKS for 3 reasons: 1) Detachable mag with round capacity 2) AK is cheaper and faster to produce 3) AK is full auto 3 is pointless for civilian use since we can't really get an FA model anyway. 2 is pointless as a good AK right now costs...

      Kimber Owners

      That was my first thought. However, it occurred on the included factory mag and 2 NIB Wilson Combat mags. Since the round count on the pistol is unknown, the spring replacement probably needed to be done anyway. But I'm leaning heavily to an over tight extractor being the culprit. The round...

      Kimber Owners

      I love my Kimber Tactical Pro II. I bought it used and had major issues right off the bat. FTF with at least 1 round in every mag. Replaced the recoil and hammer springs with Wolff. The extractor was extremely tight. I removed the slide, placed a round in the extractor, and shook the crap out...

      Hello from Portage

      Thanks guys. As long as I can stay out of the politics forums, I think we should get along just fine.

      Michigan City Gun Show

      Probably the worst show I've been to in recent history. Knives outnumbered guns probably 5:1. Pitiful long gun selection and generally higher then normal pricing. I did end up with a Galco Kingtuk for a decent price after haggling. The last show, I hit it off with the Mennonite looking guy...

      Hello from Portage

      Hi everyone. Been lurking for a while now and decided to join. I'm into long guns and recently got into clay sports. I try to keep my collection wood and metal only. I currently own a Kimber Tactical Pro II, Mosin Nagant 91/30, Yugo SKS, Ruger 10/22, and a Wingmaster 870. Will hopefully be...
