    Don't you mean "they will be found innocent"??

    Well nobody is actually found innocent, just not guilty. But yeah I think it should also be not guilty.

    This is a great law. I have always been a fan of justified homicide. I am not sure how many people are walking the streets packing heat but after a few criminals are shot it might send the message to leave others alone! If everyone has the power to protect themselves and others criminals might be less likely to attack.

    It could lead to abuse but I’d like to see it work out.

    what a nice society that may turn out to be. can tourists get a gun too then, or does it only apply for us citizens?
