Cite laws that specifically outlaw common sense?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Cite laws that specifically outlaw common sense?

I guess I have both the faith in my fellow man (LEOs included) and the willingness to sacrifice for the good of my fellow man(or woman)

OK, which laws have wording outlawing common sense? Cite please?
Could this be what you are referring to in Illinois?
(745 ILCS 49/) Good Samaritan Act.
(745 ILCS 49/1)
Sec. 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Good Samaritan Act.
(Source: P.A. 89-607, eff. 1-1-97.)
(745 ILCS 49/2)
Sec. 2. Legislative purpose. The General Assembly has established numerous protections for the generous and compassionate acts of its citizens who volunteer their time and talents to help others. These protections or good samaritan provisions have been codified in many Acts of the Illinois Compiled Statutes. This Act recodifies existing good samaritan provisions. Further, without limitation the provisions of this Act shall be liberally construed to encourage persons to volunteer their time and talents.
(Source: P.A. 89-607, eff. 1-1-97.)
Or maybe this law?
§ 720 ILCS 5/7-1 - Use of force in defense of person
Sec. 7-1. Use of force in defense of person. (a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or another against such other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, he is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or another, or the commission of a forcible felony.

Ok, got me there. But perhaps he meant to say laws that go against or defy common sense.

Maybe, but there is a big difference, and actually Illinois has a loophole so in a way concealed carry is not as limited as in other states. As long as one posses a FOID card they can transport a unloaded firearm concealed. That means in restaurants that serve alcohol, the church, in a park, and since it's Illinois most business are not posted. And they do not have to notify officers they are carrying. All that is required is along with the FOID the gun be in a case designed for firearms and unloaded, the ammo(magazine) can be carried in a seperate compartment. While it takes nads to do it, and probably would be a hassle it is legal, in fact it is the only way transporting a firearm is allowed in Illinois. In my state of NC, it is a crime to transport a unloaded firearm in a case unloaded unless it is some part of the weapon can be seen, or it is in a locked container, or not within reach.

If you do something illegal then yes. If you save the life of a police officer or stop a mass shooting I strongly doubt you're going to trial or even be charged. In this case Mr Stacey was released minutes after being cuffed once the officers established who was who.
You're far more likely to get punished for protecting yourself in a dark alley or parking garage from a mugger than you are for assisting a police officer who is pinned down and under fire
