yea NJ's laws are pretty ******

If someone unlawfully enters your house you are well within your legal rights to shake them loose the mortal coil. However, if you mortally wound them inside your house and with their dying breath they make it out of your house, you ass is getting sued. Those laws are messed up, that is why I would suggest one of these:

Put a few rounds of 00 or 000 buck in 'ol painless there and then proceed to put it in BGs chest, I don't see too good of a chance of him making it out of anywhere, :supergrin: Man, I gotta get me one of those, my range has a used one for sale, maybe I should look into it.

Last i heard N.J. doesn't have any self defense law's
In N.J. The only thing that will justify self defense in your house is if someone either has a weapon in their hands or they tell you they have a weapon, And if you kill them in self defense there is still no law that protect's you from that and you could still be brought up on charge's.

About 5 years ago the guy down the street from me came home to 2 guy's in his house and he beat the **** out of them and restrained them until the police got there
He got sued by the 2 guys for 20 some thousand dollars and lost in court.
that is really messed up.
4 years ago a girlfriend of mine was a go-go dancer and this guy i didn't even know attacked me in a parkinglot of the bar she worked at, i ended up dislocating his jaw in the scuffle
And 2 years ago he tried to sue me in court for his injuries. Even though i did win the case it still amazes me with the **** people can sue you for

i think you guys have some information mixed up.
new jersey gives its citizens the same rights to defend themselves as any other state. location has little, if anything, to do with it.
if you, your property, your life, or the life of someone around you is threatened you have the right to defend.
one thing is that you can never give up or lose your right to sue under any circumstance. even signing a waiver of liability does not release your right to sue someone for misfortune or injury. that is how criminals get over for what they do.
it has nothing to do with state laws, just the way that the american legal system works.

the old man has spoken... :grampsch:
