Wow, that is bad news!

That's OK. My point is/was that AG Condon stopped the home invasions. Unfortunately his successor, McMaster?, rescinded the policy and the home invasions resumed.

The last state I lived in before moving here in 2007 was Florida. The Castle Doctrine went into law on 1 Oct, 2005 in Florida. It was extremely well received by most people but many liberals did the same thing they did in 1987 when concealed carry was passed. "Blood will run in the streets!" Same old rhetoric crap from the extreme left. It never happened.

Does S.C. have the Castle Doctrine? I think 28 or 29 states do now and more are adding it every year!

SC law is crystal clear compared to WI, the Land of 10,000 Laws

I cannot recommend GrassRoots GunRights SC El Presidente Ed Kelleher (once a Navy nuke!) and his VP Director of Legislative Action Robert Butler, DC, JD too highly!!!!!!!!! Rob Butler is one of my Tres Doctores (a la three amigos), also Ben Davis, EED and Neal Seaman Doctor of Citizenship. Neal might be bigger than Hugh Jarmis.

I will decide whether carry in my own house is prudent for me.

Response to Post #8

Officers arrested Singstock for burglary, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

Police said Singstock appeared intoxicated and refused to make a statement to investigators. He was taken to the Racine County Jail and was charged Monday with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He was given a $300 cash bond and $1,000 signature bond.

Where is the charge for BURGLARY? It seems as if thee "law enforcement" has faile to charge for the most serious crime. Our legal system is a complete failure.

Is it any wonder that we all feel the need to carry for our own protection?

and i have no doubt, being such a fine upstanding citizen, with a sweetheart deal on his bail, he will attend every court appearance, and adhere to the law.

The open door is arguably an invitation. The cops do not charge. They observe, investigate and detain and have the discretion to recommend a charge. If they reported an open door, that's an open door for a SPD to argue invitation.

I have several guns stashed around my house now that all of my children are grown so the need to carry 24/7 is not that much of a concern as it may be to some others. I once saw an Internet discussion about what they did with their gun while going to the bathroom in the middle of the night or taking a shower. When the day comes that I can no longer get out of my bed and travel the 15' to the bathroom in the middle of the night without carrying my gun with me is the day that I really have to wonder what has become of this world and my life. I know you can't select the times that you are safe or not and we should always be prepared but there is also a thing called paranoia. Or maybe I have led a sheltered life.
