Strawmen invade Iowa Capitol against Castle Doctrine
Domestic abusers and gang members will all walk now, at least according to chief law enforcement lawyers here in Polk County. Didn't Mattel get in trouble when Talking Barbie said "Math is hard?" So the local legal eagles will have to try harder to get a conviction. Bet those pesky 4th and 5th Amendment rights piss them off too.(Look, my very own logical fallacy- or is it?) And totally ignored is the secondary purpose- stop civil persecution of those acting in self defense. Love all the scare quotes in the article, too.
Their claim we are protected under the law is not entirely true. While we MAY be cleared of wrongdoing for self defense, we are still liable to be sued by the miscreant and/or his surviving family. That places a burden above and beyond the fact that we have to deal with the fact that we have taken a life. As for sheriff Pulkrabek, he's a antigun liberal idiot pisswit. If criminals are flocking in to get permits in his county, he's not doing his job. Last I knew (and I'm a FFL so I have to be up on this) every permit holder has to pass a NICS check. Criminals can't pass it so how are they getting permits? Is he violating federal law to issue permits? Maybe the ATF needs to pay the good sheriff a visit. I guess when he went to sheriff school he missed the day they covered INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. A male version of Joan "crazy lady" Peterson
