Neighbor kid got bit...

its a good thing to be aware of state laws and how they interpret/enforce them. to take this discussion further, the burgler situation. .... some states demand you don't shoot them, some ya must shoot them in the home, other states required you just shoot them on YOUR property.

if you talk to the county sherrif, you quickly realize they are aware of the various petty thieces, drug dealers, law breakers... and who gets up and goes to work everyday. don't think one minute if I shoot some a**h*** commiting a crime against me here ON my property, that I do NOT have the right to protect me , mine, and whats mine. unfortuneately some places are not so logical.

Missouri is at this time, considering a new law that eliminates the procedure to carry a concealed weapon. no safety course, no liscence, just stick it in your pocket/whatever. LOL I really doubt it passes but being considered.
