Yes, I know about the 'castle doctrine' and know it isn't perfect either. For instance I recall reading a newspaper article about a gentleman who was dropping off religious tracts door to door and was met at one door by a little old lady with very poor eyesight. He held out a religious tract toward her and she shot him with a pistol because she thought he was threatening to stab her with a knife.DigitalMaestro wrote: ... We have castle doctrine in FL ...

We have laws intended to prevent this, but the system seems to have failed to prevent it this time. But really, who approaches someone in their own home when they're holding a gun? I doubt grandma was a quick draw, so it was probably obvious what she was holding.GBLW wrote: For instance I recall reading a newspaper article about a gentleman who was dropping off religious tracts door to door and was met at one door by a little old lady with very poor eyesight.

Thank you! And good luck with the computer. May it fare better than Tor's Apple.GBLW wrote:Here's the next installment - Chapter 8
