Some of the appeal to moving out of Colorado where my "peers" could include legalized dope addicts who could be swayed by lawyers saying that someone who was in my house at 3am didn't know what was going on and deserved a chance to prove it (or kill me and my family in my own home).In the article "...as the target moves away,..." If the target is moving away then shooting may not be necessary. It is difficult to shoot someone in the back and then claim self defense. My concern is with a jury that looks at the AR as an Assault Weapon. We know it isn't, but juries do have bias built up from years of media influence. The question becomes why did you convert and build an assault rifle into a home defense weapon? I, like most of you, have a 1911A1, .357, 2 .380's and an AR-15 loaded in my house at all times. My story will always be that it was the closest at the time.
In East Texas, a jury of my peers would likely wonder if the perp deserved worse.
