Naaa, presence of a firearm stops a lot of crimes. However, pulling an unloaded gun is just stupid.

In all those gun debates, I'm sure you remember hearing some gun owners say things like "we don't need more laws, we need to enforce the ones we have."

No offense, but your friend is a pretty good example of the law functioning as intended (based on the story you told).

lol Creamo...actually I typed "SSSSLLLUUURRRPPP". I did not mention your name when I typed it nor did I mention it on these boards or to any of my squaddies.

But thanks for bringing it up.

Your point is well taken too.

my guess is that there is MUCH more to the story. I am not versed on delawares gun laws but this sounds fishy.

I can not imagine this happening in even California if you are on your property and not threatening anyone. I also see no reason to have an unloaded gun.

There is no law that I know of in Califiornia or any western state that would not allow you to carry a gun on your property.

I know of felons on parole who were caught with a loaded gun in their vehicle who did not get any additional time added to their sentance for the firearm violation... certainly they didn't get 3 years.

Seems that your friends case would have been very high profile.

Not suprised because it was in Delaware.

BTW, as I found out recently, while here in AZ it is illegal to use deadly force to protect property, in Texas (under certain circumstances) it is not.

However, as the facts have been presented here, this guy had no reason to go for his gun. It doesn't sound like he, anyone else or his property was in any danger.

And I also agree with Funked, I'm betting there's more to the story.

Just another example of what is wrong with this country. We're going in the toilet.

He should of shot all of them and claimed they attacked him. They were probably scoping his property so they could rob it.

(prosecutor wanting 9 years for that!? )

comming up on an election year. and the prosecutor probably has aspirations to a higher office. it doesn't matter what party he runs with, in todays political climate "tough on gun violence" doesn't look bad on the resume.

Aaah! "The Peoples Republic of Delaware", that explains it. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. If you contact him, after he gets out, suggest he move to Virginia. A far more 'Civilized' state.

Too bad about the Delaware thing. in Arizona if someone is on your property you can level your gun at them and order them off. OTOH you cannot shoot them., at least not for merely trespassing.

Lol, I find it funny how whenever a state does anything remotely liberal, they immediately get called "The People's Republic of So-and-so."

But I still agree with it.
