Gun control eh? What about this?

Let's supposed this guy came back from hunting and reacted to this guy stealing his car quickly by shooting him with the arrow

He's not being prosecuted by the DA. He is within the confines of the law. Why in the world would you even care for the word of a criminal?

Exactly. He was within his rights to shoot the criminal. And thats how it should be. :shrug: Any fuckwit that tries to steal my car will get shot at.
 
Nail the femoral artery and he'll be dead in under 5 minutes. Never mind 20. And the odds of hitting it with one of those broad hunting heads is pretty damn good. I wouldn't take a bet against it.

I don't recall seeing anything about the word of the criminal. As a matter of fact, there's nothing about who said what at all because we can't see the whole article. I'm just saying there's a freaking possibility that every word of that story isn't true. It has nothing to do with whether I care about the word of a criminal or not. If you believe everything you read, good for you.
 
I like this guys style, assuming (wishing) it true. Gun Control & apparently Bow Control is easy. Practice hitting what you're aiming at. :shrug:

Hard to say, GF, but it looks like the police are digging deeper into his story.
 
watch some fucktard try to outlaw a bow and arrow cause of this. ive said it before ill say it again. in self defense or defending family/friends, THEYRE SAFETY AS WELL AS YOURS COMES FIRST. FUCK ANYONE WHO WONT DEFEND THEMSELVES OR LOVED ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2. as i said in another thread, ITS NOT THE FUCKING WEAPON(IE GUN OR IN THIS CASE BOW AND ARROW THATS THE PROBLEM ITS HOW ITS USED) AND 3 ITS NOT THE WEAPON THATS THE PROBLEM ITS THE FUCKING CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Steve. :)
 
Defense of your car really isn't the same as defense of your family.

Also, a criminal does have rights. They have the right to a trial where they will be correctly punished. Killing someone vigalante (sp?) style for stealing your car isn't right.
 
As a comparison...

Have you broke the speed limit lately? (Ok, that and stealing a car are different...but both are crimes) In doing so, let's say, you endangered my family which is driving along at the speed limit in a minivan (for example). You are even threatening my safety as a fellow driver on the road. Now, does that give me the right to shoot out your tires so you slam into a tree? You are breaking the law after all.

Ok, now take my family out of the picture. Now I'm just doing it to "protect" myself. Does the same thing apply?

Basically, what I'm saying is that I have no problem with bows/guns, in fact I go hunting with my dad in the fall. However, this man killed the car thief. This wasn't in self defense, he could have let the man get away and called the police.
 
If he stole his car, he may not have had a way to get to work, may have lost his job eventually, couldn't pay his bills, etc... Like I said in my earlier post, I believe it's more than just "a car" that the thief is stealing. They used to hang horse theives for that reason. And the guy threatened to shoot him, so it technically was self-defense.
 
I think the big thing is the threat of the gun. Whether or not the guy actually had one or not is irrelevant, he made the threat.
 
Not all states would buy that either. I can't shoot someone if they threaten me like that. I can't if they steal my car either. I want to move to texas :).
 
I don't think you should have to wait until you are shot to be able to defend yourself.
 
Oh, you don't. But simple threat in a vocal manner isn't enough to constitue the use of deadly force. If he had the gun pulled out, or charged you with a knife(or any sharp object), that would.
