Concealed Carry's Slippery Slope; the Castle Doctrine!


Keep an eye on the new "Mr. Crazy" in the state senate, Van Wanggaard. 

Can there ever be too much scrutiny over why a person was shot to death? State Senator Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) not only thinks so, but wants to codify it into law.
Caledonia Patch: To protect homeowners in situations like this, there is a new bill in the state legislature that would allow law enforcement to make the presumption that the homeowner is the victim. Senator Van Wanggaard fully supports the measure, commonly known as the "Castle Doctrine" because he said he wanted to prevent the victim of a crime from being victimized again by the very system designed to protect them. "There's too much scrutiny when a victim has to testify," he said.

He really did say that.
In a nutshell, AB 69 and SB 79 state homeowners have the right to use force intended to or likely to cause great bodily harm in defense of their home and the people inside. The law would also apply to a place of business and a car in the case of, for example, a car-jacking attempt. "You can't run outside and shoot someone if they're stealing the radio out of your car," Wanggaard clarified.

But to find that out would require “too much scrutiny,” wouldn’t it Mr. Wanggaard?

  1. We need to ban guns entirely. Only the government should be allowed to commit violence on citizens. Even if it is self-defense.

  2. I spent 5 years on the streets as a police officer and 22 years as a combat Firefighter. There are a few practical things that I learned about "political correctness and Liberal Socialism" while dealing with "bad Guys" and trying to save their victoms. I can sum them up with a few quotes:
    ”Political Correctness has never won a battle!”
    “You cannot Nice Guy your way through a war!”
    “It does no good to be in the right; if you are dead right!”
    These can be applied equally to ether personal safety or the country's safety. It is my firm belief that "If you enact laws in the name of Safety, which prevent Americans from exercising their constitutional right to keep and bear arms; what you create are not safer communities but
    Killing Zones!"
