"Police said the victim is licensed to own firearms." Good thing he asked permission from the Chicago authorities to own his firearms. I wonder if the criminals were in compliance with their licensing?

We really need to make defending personal property with deadly force legal and encouraged.

That's why I live in a fenced in compound. That ensures Castle Doctrine and full property defense rights.

I guess Oregon State Penitentiary counts as a "fenced in compound".

Yeah.
IF.......someone happens to catch a catalitic coverter thief, the thief will probably be released pending trial without much of a thought.

BUT, But, but.........

Prius owners are dealing with months-long back orders as the car remains one of the most popular models for catalytic converter thefts

The targeting of catalytic converters from Prius models has left LA drivers waiting for months for replacements from dealerships and mechanics.

I wonder when we will have permits needed to exercise our 1st Amendment Right? I have my permit for sarcasm and I paid my $200 tax stamp for f-bombing!

Don't mess with old people.
Life in prison isn't much of a deterrent.

Messing with a person's car is a bad choice. I've said this before on here but I'll say it again. My car is what I use to get back and forth to work to make money so that I can put a roof over my families head, feed them, clothe them and pay for health insurance. Hinder my ability to work and that puts my family in jeopardy. There used to be a time when it was legal to shoot horse thieves as it presented the same hardships that stealing or disabling someone's vehicles does. I fully support heavily ventilating any meathead caught screwing with someone else's car, truck or tools.

Not in Chicago it doesnt

 

[NeoBlackdog]

We used to hang horse thieves. In my opinion, we still should.
If you steal a man's transportation you've stolen far more from him than just that particular item. You've also taken away or incredibly inconvenienced his ability to go to work and earn a living for himself and his family.
