Lots of ways. For example, it could encourage vigilanteism. DanTex Aug 2012 #27

do you know the difference between castle doctrine and SYG? gejohnston Aug 2012 #28

That's why you need to look at the actual numbers DanTex Aug 2012 #46

If the numbers were right in the report then why did the authors use weasel words ... spin Aug 2012 #52

What you call "weasel words" are actually pretty normal for an economics paper. DanTex Aug 2012 #54

Wrong. TPaine7 Aug 2012 #58

I think he could get around that. The dispatcher's suggestion does not carry the force of law. TPaine7 Aug 2012 #33

He ignored his training which was only to observe and report. Kaleva Aug 2012 #34

Yes it did. Besides, you gun cultists will always claim they felt threatened by unarmed teenager -- Hoyt Aug 2012 #49
