Vice President Kamala Harris, a self-described gun owner, told Oprah in a live-streamed interview Thursday that she is not afraid to shoot someone in self-defense.
“If somebody breaks in my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris said. Laughing, she continued: “I probably should not have said that, my staff will deal with that later.”
Ed.: Remember: don't take self-defense advice from democratic candidates. Just because someone breaks in doesn't necessarily mean you can shoot them. Generally, Castle Doctrine grants the *presumption* that deadly force is justified, but that presumption may be be rebutted in court. Know your state laws, and consult competent legal counsel. |

| Sorry editor, my wife and I are in our 70's. If someone breaks in their will be gunfire without determining their purpose. It is illegal to enter a home without authorization. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
