Protecting your home

but your not walking around waving at your family, your protecting your home.
Lets say the intruder is at least 10 feet away, i doubt anyone can goof up a shot like that
In my state (Florida) it is legal to kill them, if they appear to be threatening you. The law that upholds this is called the "Stand your Ground" law. It applies outside your home actually...if someone is threatening you with a lethal weapon, and you kill them, it is considered a justifiable homicide.
well how big is your house? any rooms much larger than at least 10-15 feet wide??
for that you need to keep the gun in a safe and the ammo seperated in another safe. in germany its like that. cool rulingif the intruder is in the house you tell him. ey wait gotta get my gun and ammo and have to load it. then we can play along ok?
well since the highest probability of you getting your home invaded while your in it is in the evening/night, why can't you keep your weapon loaded and ready? keep it locked when your not home

I'm watching some specialist videos
Ownership as such is not illegal. There are extreme restrictions as the type of weapon and where it is stored. Shotguns are owned in appropriate circumstances (e.g farmers), target weapons must be stored and locked up at a gun club. Handguns are illegal.
Even if I were allowed a gun, I would still not confront an armed burglar with it, as it is a good way of getting yourself or a member of your family shot. The burglar will usually only break in to a house if they think that it is empty. They are high on adrenaline and very jumpy. To be surprised by a home owner when the burglar is holding a gun will almost always end up with the burglar firing the weapon. On the other hand, the burglar is unlikely to be holding his gun, given that he thinks that the house is empty in the first place.
The chances are, that any burglar shot is almost certainly trying to get away as he does not have quick access to his weapon, and has been spooked by someone being at home. Not that he does not deserve it - in my mind, being injured or killed whilst committing a crime should be written off as occupational hazard.
because to many douchebags took weapons of theire fathers, went to school and played a little ego shooter out there. so our politics say, hey thats not good lets lock the weapons in and seperate them of the ammo and it will never happen again

but the kids aren't playing with guns at night, they're sleeping!
so what your gonna tell the crook, "hold up chum, gotta load up the gun"???
that's fucking insane
haha yeah i think its ridculous too. thats what you gotta do. "hey just wait a minute and stand by. ill be back"
but even if you get your gun if you have one. you shot him you are going to jail most of the time. our law sucks in that regardhaha yeah i think its ridculous too. thats what you gotta do. "hey just wait a minute and stand by. ill be back"
at least you don't have to deal with mexican drug cartels like those unfortunate saps in texas and arizona
In WV, we too can shoot first and ask questions later if someone breaks into your home. Of course if I am at the point where I'm shooting someone, I'm damn sure gonna kill them for two reasons.
1. They cannot come back for retaliation if I don't kill them.
2. They cannot come back and sue me for shooting them.

The issuance of a ''firearm ID'' (via the State of NJ) is required before you can legally purchase a gun for the home and or range? Do I have that right, MP?
If so, That's more oppressive than California!
I'd be on the phone with the good NJ governor if I was you.
i'm not an expert on the law but yes you first need a firearm id.
thats to get a rifle or shotgun.
a handgun permit is another thing.
a friend of mine did get a handgun permit, took 6 months for permission to buy one pistol.
then when we drove to the gun shop 2 hours away the workers there had to send the permit back to Dc via fax and wait for a reply with permission, which is just breaking balls because the permit is permission.
6 hours later nothing, no reply, store closed.
that took 2 days for a response.
They really put you through a lot.
but thats what you get for trying to be a law biding citizen.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
You can "make" an automatic weapon with nothing more than a file. But whether you bastardize/ruin a semi-auto and make it fully auto or convert one with some "Google blueprints", all you're doing is creating something that is not designed for sustained automatic fire... and it'll eventually fail (and maybe kill you). Also there's the distinct possibility that you'll be able to share the story of how you made this weapon... with the other inmates in Federal prison. Even touching an illegal weapon (or a silencer) can earn you a visit from the BATF - as a friend of mine found out. Holding the item in your hand qualifies as "possession".

In my state, once a criminal crosses the threshold of your residence, that's basically his ass. As a cop friend told me many years ago, "his life is in your hands at that point." The OP poses a good question though. What would I do? Late at night... awoken from a sound sleep... :dunno: The problem is, there's no way I could know if he was alone or if there were multiple intruders. But in either case, if he posed any sort of threat, after being told to surrender and lie face down on the floor... I would tap him 2-3 times in the chest. I've been taught from a very early age that you should never aim a weapon at anyone or anything that you're not willing to fire on. And anyone or anything that you're willing to fire on, you have to be willing and prepared to kill.
You always have John Wayne types who claim that they'd do this and they'd do that. More than likely these John Wayne wannabes would shit their pants and shoot themselves in the foot. I've known cops who have had to kill people in justifiable shootings and they're never the same after that. Unless a person is insane, killing someone is not a thing that anyone would welcome. But if it comes down to me or him (or her), I will always choose me. I kinda like me.

i agree with that rey, its true.
on the other hand speaking from a personal incident.
I was victim of basically a home invasion 2 years ago.
I rented a room in my apt. to a sex tourist who put me in that situation.
dumbass brought them right into my house.
Anyway 4 guys in my home, one with a large caliber revolver the others with knives.
They were in my apartment for almost 2 hours and they were acting pretty crazy, I thought 100% i would not survive that.
I was waiting for the bullet and hoping it would be quick and painless.
It was real bad.
My point is that if I had the chance at any moment i would have killed them.
I wanted to.
When its a situation where you know its you or them especially when they are strangers your will to survive kicks in and most will kill if given the opportunity I believe.
Now finding a burglar in your living room and shooting him is a different thing.
