It's good to see she walks around with a barrel plug on when she's not shooting criminals

[jewie27]

That's was cool. Looked like a Viewloader paintgun.

The problem is when it hits a person it just zips through like a icepick. Making a neat hole with no damage.

Actually........within 175-200M, the 5.56 round has enough velocity to shatter on impact, even JHP rounds......

Just have to have good ammo, thats all

You have to read the entire paragraph. Iam talking about the green tip ammo used by most military units. And rounds dont shatter on impact (unless you are using frangible rounds) the mushroom or tumble, espiscally if they are JHP

thats not true. You cannot shoot anyone just because they are trespassing. You can call the law on them, but you cannot shoot them unless they your life is danger.

You cannot shoot anyone on your property unless they have entered your home. If someone is crawling through your window, you better wait until the get far enough in that they dont fall outside, or else you could possibly be charged.

You can shoot anyone, but you must face the consequences of your actions. A man is not considered a burgler unless he has committed an act that leads him to be one. If they guy just walks on your property, there is nothing you can do, but ask them to leave. If they dont, then call the laws on them, and they will be charged w/ trespassing.

Why would you want to blow someone away. Even if I caught someone in my backyard trying to get into my shed, I wouldnt blow them away for it. Geez man, if you do, you have absolutely no heart or respect for life, and you deserve to be prosecuted.

I know for a fact that my viking w/ Angry halo on Debounce 1 and a full hopper, that anyone getting shot w/ it is turning the other direction and running. Unless the guy breaks into your house w/ paintball mask on, its gonna do some damage.

In MI the standard for deadly force outside of your house is the attacker would represent a reasonable threat to a person of your knowledge/skills/size/etc. of imminent and serious bodily harm with no possibility of retreat on your part.

In MI firing of any firearm (even a warning shot) is the same as if you had shot to kill in the eyes of the law, granted you would get it plead down, but legally if you fire a warning shot you have used deadly force.

In your own home, and possibly in your yard (there is a test case that indicates this though the person shot in defense was a convicted criminal) you do not have the duty to retreat - you may defend your castle. However, you still may not shoot someone who does not present a reasonable, serious, and imminent threat of severe bodily harm.

There are ways to get around this, the fleeing felon rule, as well as citizens arrest. However you are getting into things that you must legally do "just right" in order to justify the use of lethal force and most people do not have the ability to do them under stress, and then prove they did.

first of all the girl in the vid. wasn't wearing a mask and secondly i would have grabbed my .357 or 12ga.
but thats just me

As for the dogs, if they bite, those will put you into court faster than shooting an intruder unless you can prove that they are properly (and professionally) trained.

Hell even properly trained dogs are put down if they attack or bite a person. I remember the story of a women in California who was attacked by two Presas (think huge@&* pits) and mualed to death. The owners were put in jail and the dogs were put down. The dogs were sostrong they broke through the apartment door and each were larger then the women who was attacked.

I know there is someone here that knows what I am talking about.

So he was still arrested and charged w/ manslaughter right? answer that w/ yes or no please.

also what source please? do you get the baton rouge times in ontario?

even if partially true, Im sure the deliberation was over whether or not the killer was "threatened" by the teenager walking toward him after a gun has been pointed in his direction.

And besides.....the teenager was a minority and the south is racist and segregated, so that couldve contributed to the decision of the Jury.....but, he was still arrested and charged w/ the crime. It was the jury that was conviced by the drama in the courtroom....and I think that is a shame.

didnt say i personaly shoot people for tresspassing, but yes in Texas that is the law.....sorry.

;ast time we had tresspassers all it took was the sound of a shotgun cocking(empty i might add....i was drunk and had hid all the ammunition).

the laws in texas are actualy there because of cattle rustling(wich is still a big problem) and people stealing from farmers. i mean crap, horse theivery still carried the death penalty not that many years ago(hadnt been inforced in god knows when,but it was)

[txaggie08]

And besides.....the teenager was a minority and the south is racist and segregated, .

ooh arent we a biggited little jerk. i take high offense to that. were so racist and bigoted down here the black guy living next door to me in this dorm quakes in his boot lemme tell you(if there were mopre sarcasm dripping off this i would short my keyboard out).

i hate ignorance on a grand scale. confratulations youve just accomplished two things. youve made me dislike you for one, and youve shown what a biggoted little jerk you are.

I cant believe her dad actually told her to get the paintball gun if someone broke in... thats lunacy.

I guess paintball guns qualify as "motivational speaking" now. I know ive used them for that before.

Hope I didn't spell anything wrong, grammar Nazi's might come after me.

[skife]

she was using crappy paint, it looked as if it was mostly water inside the paintball.

definatally not good for playing indoors with poor lighting.
