And thanks to SB554 that victim has to report the firearm stolen or he faces a fine/penalty.

I was reading the flash alert of this the other day. What a shame.

that brings up a point - it could be the family is saying the handgun was taken from the elderly home owner because it was unsecured by the door and the intruder just grabbed it
the firearm was then used in a crime at a different location and in a shootout with Police

I admit I have unsecured, loaded 10/22 by each door
but our biggest threat out here are rogue raccoons, not felons from Klamath Falls kicking in doors in Hillsboro late in the evening attacking homeowners

Should be before any more gun laws are enacted that the criminal justice system be held liable for released known felons, any crimes they commit are instantly applied to whichever judge or DA released them on a deal.

Or they can prove they can contain crime and criminals safely after a 10 year program that reduces if not completely eliminates all crime, ALL, major and minor.

In the center margin of a 45 RPM record back in the 60s (forget which disc it was) was hand engraved "He who hesitates is lunch"

Seems to me securing violent felons should be a much higher priority than securing a firearm that's already inside a locked house.

Never tell someone you will shoot them.

If you or any of yours is under threat by an individual, shoot them.

I've told my wife to keep pulling the trigger until it goes CLICK ! and let the
insurance co. worry about the rug.

If we have to be held liable and responsible for every bullet why does the state not get the same in terms of criminals cut loose?

We've all heard the saying the pen is mightier than the sword.

It could be anything anyone wishes to make up and post.

What matters is what occurred.

 

[Jay Walk]

None of us know if we can use it because the choice has not been presented to us yet.

the convicted felon from Kalama Falls was in Hillsboro
he stole a gun from one residence and stabbed a member of the household
he used that gun to steal a car from another resident
he pointed that gun at police and was shot
that's what occurred, according to the police report

The homeowner had a talisman, some people are made to be conquered.

Gonna be hard to make a mini-series based on that...

So what was the damn point in owning the gun, then? To feel warm and fuzzy? Because now you feel embarrassed and emasculated
