Girl shoots burglar with paintball gun

[astroboy]

Google is Gospel! And don't you forget it! Still doubtful? Well if you had even bothered to punch up "Hattori Peairs" on google then you would get a plethora of sites relating back to the case. Yes even this doesn't mean that the case was real. Yes it could be the result of a great 1990s conspiracy to print and make up facts about such a case by one or many different people. The reason? No one knows for sure but "the truth is out there!" LOL! You crack me up!

And no I don't believe you can shoot someone if they tresspass. I live in Canada so that kind of thinking is foreign to most Canadians. I was just pointing out the fact that someone had been shot for trespassing and the shooter was easily acquited (the jury deliberated for only three hours and fifteen mintues, allegedly.)

and when did google or the internet ever become a valid source of information. It is just an echo chamber of opinions, that is for the most part unregulated.

so are all ppl who are acquitted actually innocent of the crime they were charged of? ehehm OJ.

It was only acquitted likely because of the Jurys decision. There may have been more to the case than you know that lead them to make such a decision. That still doesnt mean that the law is, you can shoot someone on your property just for trespassing.

I tell you what (and aggie too), just believe what you want and go ahead and shoot someone for tresspassing, you sort out the details later, and come back on and post what happened to you.

just because some police officer says it doesnt mean its true. They just arrest you and let the judge decide. So, if you think its legal to shoot someone and you want a more valid opinion, ask a few judges. Better yet, send a letter to your congressman and ask.

Goddamnit, whatever happend to grabbing a gun, killing the sunovagun, and getting an award for it. I tell you, this country has gone soft.

There is a very solid door between my office and the rest of the house... with no other interior doors entering my bedroom suite (office, bedroom, bathroom). All firearms are kept secured in this area of the house (most of them in a safe). In the event of a known intrusion my children are taught that this is they part of the house to be in... and my entire defensive plan is to put them in there first - top priority. Once this area is secured I will involve the police - and they will "clear" the house for me. This is not to say I run to panic mode at the slightest noise. I live in a very rural area and investigate oddities myself (well armed). Well I am fully prepared to pull the trigger in self defense I take every opportunity I can not to - for moral, emotional, and legal reasons. I beleive, that given the steps I have taken I am morally and legally in the right.

It is important to be prepared, mentally, physically and with equipment for the reasonable possibilities. Many people, even properly prepared, fail to act appropriately in high stress situations because they have nto mentally prepared themselves. Many who attempt to act fail to succeed because of lack of physical preparedness and training. Others, who could have reacted well, do not because of lack of equipment. Am I prepared for every conceivable possibility - no? I am prepared for the most likely, and have considered my actions in them calmly - I hope that with my training background that I will act correctly if I have to. I am comfortable that I can react to situations I have not specifically prepared for. Does all of this make me paranoid? No, I think I am an extremly confident person, I feel that preparadness only lends itself to confidence.

And you would go to jail for assault, assault with a deadly weapon, homicide, or any number of other charges unless you had followed the laws close enough to make it a citizens arrest and had put you under the fleeing felon rule. Other than that, good plan

Exactly. You want the smaller hole in the front of their chest, and the dinner-plate sized one on their back.

Considering the amount of people who have lived through multiple gunshot wounds I would not bet my life on that... and what you are discussing, is doing exactly that.

I am saying that see shot him as he was fleeing. The viewloader marker is slow and not as effective as a higher end marker. If you were shot with a pump Vs Timmy . What would be more effective? By the time you shot him with the pump he would know it was just a stuipid paintball gun and still rob you. If you shot him with a timmy , well he sure wouldnt come near you That is all

Funny... people have been shot repeatedly with real firearms and still been agressive, still killed the people who have shot them. Depending on a paintball marker to stop a serious threat is not an educated position. It is one that could very well get you killed.

I am just amazed at the willingness for ppl to thier lives on the line for material possessions. My house has a very comprehensive insurance plan and in the event of my house getting burglarized, I am more likely to get my stuff either returned or have the value reinbursed to me. Not trying brag or anything but on Guam you are more likely to never even see the robber much less get a chance to shoot him. so all this talk about shooting a theif is quite disturbing.

And besides if you are gonna shoot someone, shoot to kill then sort it out with the authorities later.

**notice not disgussing anything previously disgussed**


i wouldnt actualy shoot the person unless they were armed......now discharging a shotgun in there general direction tends to "motivate" someone, but im not going to hit them. theres nothing in this hous but my mother and grandmother worth killing someone over, and i dont realy care what they do to me, i will kill you for that. generaly MOST people are smart enough to hear that old rattling pump cock and run like hell. you have no idea how many people i have scared to death with an unloaded shotgun because there trying to steal out of our stock barn. if that doesnt motivate them one shot in the air will scare the ones who arent trying to kill you anyway off.

People are generaly smart enough to leave after they get cought and threatend. unlike the racoon my mom shot with my mag earlier. it turned around and looked at her like "you want a piece of this". racoons scare me......
