Zone1 If someone attempts to rob you At knife or gunpoint do you believe you have a right to shoot them in response?

[Unkotare]

By the way, such crimes are unheard of in the United Arab Emirates or Japan. ...

Bullshit.

 

[Blaster]

That’s the situation you’re walking down the street and somebody approaches you and pulls out a knife or gun and attempts to rob you saying “give me what you have”. Do you then have a right to shoot that person?

Of course you have a right to self defense.

 

[leftwinger]

Bullshit.

Comparatively speaking perhaps? You really want to cause trouble EH? Do you understand 1 compared to 1 million in your English class? I'm on small acreen and don't care if you understand ir not?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

I think the situation posed in the OP is somewhat more immediate than that.

Why live in such dangerous places?

 

[Hector12]

I think I should be allowed to use a gun against an unarmed mugger.

 

[dblack]

Why live in such dangerous places?

That has nothing to do with the question in the OP. Are you trying to make a coherent point?

 

[Sunni Man]

Not sure why that is arrestable? The armed criminal took your stuff. Should be able to put it down?

If the robber is running away with your stuff.
Then the lethal threat to your life no longer exits.
So you would be in legal jeopardy of you chased and shot him because he had possession your items.

 

[The Duke]

Hopefully dainty gets to experience this sort of thing, up close, and personal.

I wouldn't wish that on him, as much of an insufferable dumbass moron that he is.

I don't. But sometimes I have to travel to your shitholes.

I do. These pricks, because of their actions, and who they support, cause innocent people to be harmed.

I want them to be hurt by their policies

Stay home. You're voting for looters

Do not draw on a drawn gun.



All that will happen is you will almost certainly die.

 

[the watcher]

You skewed the results when you framed the question. The right to self defense is universal, but when you quantify it with what ifs, it can take 10,000 variations, and when you throw in a jury of today's internet lawyers it has a life of it's own. The laws are clearly and simply written, it's best not to overthink them.

Sure thing, dainty. Who was it busted with gold bars in his closet again?

Says someone who has never heard of the Mozambique drill.

In the video a cop walks up pulling his gun and gets shot in the face and killed.

There are general rules you follow with firearms. Those rules may be cheated now and then, but generally speaking you are well advised to follow them.

Unless you want to bet your life that you will be the exception.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

but they would first have to put a gun on you or a knife and then demand your money.

All though you bring up another point if you see somebody get robbed at knife or gunpoint and the robber is running away, does somebody have a right to shoot them morally speaking?

no

Oh, you can't just leave it at that! Okay, now I know.

I have been training for a very, very long time. I don't make the mistakes the cop did.

While your advice is sound for the most part, it is not an absolute. Never make blanket statements, they are always going to be proven wrong.

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

Of course. Only an idiot would think otherwise.

Unfortunately, that’s a problem we have in this country. With a lot of things Including self-defense and morality. Like if somebody breaks into a person’s home and the intruder gets shot, the homeowner sometimes is held responsible by lefties. They like to play games of technicalities and all this other stuff. But I think morally speaking that it’s common sense that if somebody believes that they have a right to hold someone up with a weapon or break into somebody’s home to steal or commit some kind of crime…. they’ve given up the rights to exist.
