Do laws deter crime? No. Laws are the framework that defines what crime is. Someone mentioned marijuana laws and they, like Prohibition, are primary examples that prove that laws can, in fact, encourage crime. I can't remember who said it but as government, at all levels, criminalizes more and...
Appeals Court Strikes Down Girl's Public Nudity Argument
Appeals Court Strikes Down Girl's Public Nudity Argument - Indiana News Story - WRTV Indianapolis
No one was hurt and the situation resolved so overall I think you did very well. In Indiana, a person has the right to use lethal force to terminate a burglary of their residence, with the presumption being that a person in your home is there to cause you harm.
I used to advise clients that...
Jb, feel free to talk to me in any manner you wish. You, in essence, called me a liar, which is never a way to start a civil conversation.
Back to the topic, I know of no prosecutions. In fact, I'm not even aware of any arrests. If I were advising a client of mine, however, I try to err on the...
Well, I'm no REAL attorney, despite having practiced for 27 years in criminal law in two different states, but I have to agree with what SJ's judge says. They probably wouldn't prosecute, but that's different than a LEO probably wouldn't arrest based upon a complaint. I doubt ultimately that it...

There's a left handed one, as well. I used the right handed one when I had problems and it worked for me.
I'm glad that you are so wise, Prometheus. Putting up a no trespassing, no soliciting or no weapons sign, you know, signs authorized by law are hardly analogous to your proposed "No Blacks" sign as the latter violates the law.
I'm thrilled that you, with your lengthy experience in trying cases...
Prometheus, I don't want to get into an argument the first day I'm here, but I suggest you reread what you posted. If I, as the owner or an agent of the owner, post a sign prohibiting weapons and you carrying in a gun, you are trespassing. The statue you quoted shows that clearly. Now I've only...
I practiced law in Hendricks County for 16 years before coming to Tennessee, the sign would act as notice that if you are armed, you are not permitted on the property and therefore they need not give any other prior notice. I believe that most LEOs would interprete those signs in that manner.
I have one, but mine does not seem to be picky about ammunition. I got it because it mimics the 226 that I normally carry so the muscle memory helps keep me in practice at a much lower cost.
