Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    Do stand your ground laws apply when a warrantless unidentified “federal agent” comes to your door because anyone with sense would fear for their lives?

      Short answer is “It depends.”

      If a masked, unidentified individual with a weapon is in your home, it will very likely apply.

      Interestingly enough; this hasn’t happened yet. It’s almost like they know which places not to fuck with, even though there isn’t an official national gun registry or anything.

      I mean… Amazon purchases can be tracked. I wonder if buying CLP or a boresnake gets someone put on a “do not try” list.

        Interestingly enough; this hasn’t happened yet.

        Most gun enthusiasts are all barrel and no bullets.

        They got the guns in the first place because they’re actually scared little boys with an inferiority complex. No amount of guns toys will ever compensate for their small dick energy.

        It will be interesting to see if the new market has a better use for the arms.

      People have legally defended themselves in that situation, yes- but first you have to survive until your court date.
