McKissick on the Castle Doctrine

The State Representative from Durham, Floyd McKissick has a problem with the proposed Castle Doctrine

Durham Democrat Floyd McKissick argued against the inclusion of vehicles, asking what would happen if a nervous driver was approached in a rough neighborhood.

The person knocking on the window might just be a panhandler, a window-washer, or someone asking directions, McKissick said. “But if you’re already apprehensive, you might just decide to shoot ‘em without really wondering about what their true motives are. And once that person’s dead, they’re not going to be able to testify about their intent.

"What if?"Might?" "They'll be blood in the streets..." Those concerns of the possible have been brought up every time in every State where self-defense legislation of this sort has been tendered, and ya know what? It doesn't come to past. The problem here is an assumption by a anti-gun politician that all gun owners are either nervous nellies with a hair trigger, violent sociopaths looking for their first kill, or, well, Representative McKissick and thus incapable of telling the difference between a panhandler and a violent thug intent on breaking into a person's car. Just because you can't manage to tell the difference Floyd don't mean we can't.

H/T to Sean.
