Let me explain:<BR/><BR/>All of the anti gun individuals claimed when concealed carry was passed, that there would be blood running in the streets, and that there would be "wild west" shoot outs. Well, much to their displeasure, none of the above happened, squashing all of their hysterical claims.<BR/><BR/>I am a leader of Buckeye Firearms, and I am also a licensed real estate agent in the state of Ohio. The Castle Doctrine (SB184) law that went into effect last week, had all kinds of crazy claims from the antis. John Murphy from the Ohio Prosecutors Assoc. thought it was horrible that "now Prosecutors would have to prove that the victim committed a crime". Welcome to being forced to do your job Mr. Murphy. No longer is a victim called a "defendant". No longer is a victim (and their family) financially destroyed for being forced to defend their lives against the criminal element.<BR/><BR/>This is a great law that was passed. It cleaned up a lot of the grey areas with concealed carry that had the potential of turning law abiding citizens into criminials. Castle Doctrine is not a gun bill, it is self defense bill. Who could arque with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
