sunray> thanks... the second actual response to my questions. thanks for the real info.
(as a big kid, i am not necessarily opposed to big kid toys haha)
now to speak on what this thread has been hijacked into;
i believe we are allowed to use whatever force NECESSARY to defend ourselves.... not whatever force we want, but whatever is NECESSARY to avoid death or grevious bodily harm to ourselves or our family. we are not legally obligated to let people kill us.
over the years i have read bits and peices of both cc and fa, and ive probably read every word of both at one point or another. i have no idea where one would get the idea that it is criminal to own a gun for the purpose of hd. please, if somebody can quote the specific legislation prohibiting this, that would be awesome.
i understand if you used a gun for hd, you would be arrested, and charged... and self defense is a positive defense, which shifts the onus of proof on the accused to prove they were not culpable.
owning a gun for hd, and using a gun for hd, are two very different things. using one for hd will put you in a position of having to prove you were within your rights to do so, but a holder of a pal owning a shotgun that he bought because he appreciates the qualities it has that would lend themselves well to hd, is not the same thing, at all.
