Where are you? When I first moved here from Manhattan Beach,Ca. I thought I was making one of the dumbest moves of my life. Got off the plane and realized these people are still fighting the civil war. Didn't take too long after finding all the race tracks to know I was home and plan on dying here.

My wife and I looked at a place 10 years ago down south in Stateline, South Carolina, USA and loved the area and mostly the friendly people.  ;D The commute to downtown Charlotte †, NC, where my wife could
transfer to while still working at her current employer was horrible,
so we didn't buy the house,
nor move;
YET.

Maybe next year..... ::) as I don't believe I can take the northern snows and short riding seasons much longer.

Peace,

Well I at least have the peace of mind that I live in a good neighborhood. Friday morning I woke up to find that I had never closed my garage up the night before with its bay door wide open all night for all to see. :o Much to my relief everything was still there.

4 1/2 acres of greenery, town is about 11 klicks away and it has liquor store, beer store, drug store, supermarket, hardware store, lumber yard, harbor, beach, pub passing decent restaurant, shoe store, auto parts store in other words most every thing you need and oh yeah a hospital. The Tosh's retreat at the moment is hundred's of shades of green and every thing is ready to leap out of the ground the trees have leafed out and I can't see the minor highway from the house, more importantly the road can't see in, we have a collection of birds, chickadee's to ruby throated humming birds to Baltimore Oriels as far as wild life goes wild turkeys, a bear, deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, a wolf, things like that and light even when it's cloudy and rainy, enormous light, now if I could afford it I would figure out how to put a berm between the maple trees at the front and the road and that would make it even quieter, as far as snow goes so far it's cost us 300 or so dollars this year for plowing which is about average and mostly if winters here you need and want snow because that means renewal time/quiet time and you compensate for it being harder to get around (major snow storm mostly you don't need to be on the road.) this year I think we'll finally get the last few bits of the house finished and my shop will be done. So if I last I can get all my bike projects done and start working on the house making it more energy efficient. We'll see how veggy sales go this year if good the all of the projects will go more smoothly.

Better than this:

http://praguemonitor.com/2013/06/03/crossbow-killer-gets-10-years-jail

That guy who got ten years was robbed several times before this incident.  The Romano  aka gypsies  entered his property to see if there was any scrapmetal.  Gypsies regularly steal anything metal, like railroad signal cables, manhole covers and so forth.  Very often the damage by the theft is many times bigger than the value of the scrap metal they steal.

So they entered his place to steal anything that was not locked and he tried to defend himself and got 10 years for it.

Nobody who ever lived next to gypsies would ever doubt who was at fault.  From what I read from other czech sources, the crossbow discharge was accidental - but the defendant was not able to prove it.

The thread is about what is "nice about where you live".   What's  nice about a place where you can get shot for delivering a pizza or maybe dropping off or picking up your girlfriend late at night.   Or maybe some girl is running from an attacker and bangs on your door for help and gets a face full of lead.  Nice!  Sounds more like a place we should build a wall around.

 What's really disturbing is that you seem to be genuinely excited about this.  Are you really just hoping  for an excuse to murder someone?  Get some help dude.  I am not a religious guy but maybe you need a little Jesus in your life.

I think you have to read your law a bit more carefully. Here are some excerpts:

The lawful occupant of a home, motor vehicle, or workplace is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or serious bodily harm to another if both of the following apply:

(1) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a home, motor vehicle, or workplace, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person's will from the home, motor vehicle, or workplace.
(2) The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.


This all means you shoot the kid that rings your bell to see if you want your lawn cut, or UPS guy, or someone cutting through your yard. You will be prosecuted.

I think he is using Texas logic on this one Bobby. Wait until they are running out and off your property and shoot them in the back until dead, then put a few more holes in for good effect. Then call the cops and tell them you were in TEXAS-style mortal danger.

LOL!  Reminds me of a guy I know, he was all against guns, violence, all for sharing and peace and loving, coexist and all that good siht.

Took only two guys with rifles to show up in his front yard - not sure what the story was, but that's not important  - but now the wife has a gun, the daughter has a gun and he has an arsenal.  It is always very nice theory but when the manure starts happening closer to home, all the ideals ar forgotten.

Castle doctrine is not a bad thing. It makes the law not out to get you if you have someone who is trying to take your life or do bodily harm to you or your family and you have to use deadly force to stop them. It doesn't mean a visitor is at threat.
You break into my house and I am going to presume you do not have good intentions, as reasonable good people ask for things rather than forceably take from you or force there way into your home.

Demonizing and twisting the words or creating examples of misuse of the doctrine doesn't help anyone here. Xnavylfr is probably a good guy but several have made him to be a monster, not cool. Pretty shameful behavior...

I have lived in states where a criminal with intent to harm you or yours has to chase you through your house to not be prosecuted for stopping them. That, is not right in my book...I prefer not to live in such a place. I do not with to hurt or kill anyone, but I do not want crime to go or grow unchecked where I live, so I prefer the Castle doctrine.
