First thing I was told when I lived to the country was " every house has a gun". I know not every house had a gun, but I got the message, if you're going to do something stupid, be prepared to deal with it.
Sure and one of the first thing we all learn is the stove his hot. Actions have consequences and so does ignorance.
If you don't have enough sense to keep your hand off a hit stove, or your nose out of someone else stuff, there could be dire consequences.
Ignorance of the law and not knowing how to handle yourself in a situation in which a life could be taken, is no different. Ignore the law, or think you're 12 is gonna save you just because.. and you might end yp being bubba's *****.
Believe me, I'm all for protecting my family, myself and my property, but I'd rather hold a kid on the ground waiting for the leo's than take some stupid teenagers life whom I could have otherwise helped turn around....
