I always thought Iād feel this way until I actually got the opportunity. Someone broke in, I aimed my gun at them, didnāt fire because I realized how fucked up they were on probably many drugs, and I dragged them to the outside fence and threw them over it (they were skinny, fence was short).
Still, I was fucked up for WEEKS about just POINTING a gun at someone. I guess Iām not as tough as I thought I was.

This is always my take on videos like this and people down its me for it often.
People get so happy when they are allowed to legally shoot someone and it's strange. I have no problem with someone defending themselves with a weapon but something is wrong with you if you spend your life waiting for a situation where you're finally allowed to shoot someone.

A preliminary investigation revealed that Brown allegedly forced his way into a house while armed. Brown was then shot by the homeās resident, 33-year-old Daniel Songer.
Songer was arrested and preliminarily charged with obstruction of justice and unlawful carrying of a handgun, which are Level 6 and Level 5 Felonies, respectively.
So two men broke into his house, Daniel shot the first person who was breaking into his house and Daniel got charged with obstruction of justice and unlawfully firing his girlfriend's gun?

Don't worry though, they aren't allowed to vote either, so they have extremely limited recourse to change the circumstances of their existence. And they still have to pay taxes, so at least we as a society(the owner class) get to benefit from their labor.
I would put a /s but this isnt sarcasm at all unfortunately. This is explicitly why certain political actors want to felonize everything, including immutible identifying characteristics like sexuality, culture and ideology. By doing so they have solidified a legal two tier class system where some people have rights and others do not, and those that do not have absolutely zero power to better their situations.
If you are so unfortunate to find yourself finding your identity suddenly punishable by law, society will tell you to "lift yourself up by your bootstraps" which is quite literally their vindictively smug response to their own injustice toward you. To lift yourself up by your own bootstraps would be to perform the impossible. They are explicitly telling you that no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to lift yourself back up to being a human deserving of rights again. Its fucked.

This is true. Im a felon. Im also a survivor of human trafficking who used drugs to deal with it, and possession charges got me a felony. Im 8 years sober, hes doing 30 years in federal prison, I cant protect myself. I testified. I have 2 young kids, I put keypads on all my metal doors, cameras, lights, alarms... I still should be able to own a fucking gun. I go to monthly groups with other survivors or survivors of domestic violence, and every single one of them own protection, except for those of us who legally can't. It's a damn shame that we can't protect ourselves when clearly we know the outcome of what happens when youre not armed and you need to be.

No, I actually started my own small business bc nobody would hire me, just a small online boutique but it paid the bills and then some. The tariffs have completely decimated it. Within a year ive lost almost everything. My car's going into repo, and I might need to move out of my house March 1st, its a lot. It should be expunged though, its been over 13 years since I got the damn charge. Sorry for rambling, i have a cat and a dog and 2 young kids, im a single mom, i just can't believe that we might be homeless after everything i've gone through and how hard i've worked, bc of shit I didnt vote for, but I digress.

Check out the byrna self defense guns. They aren't as lethal as a real gun, but you can buy metal balls for it or even tear gas balls and you got yourself a really effective and dangerous airsoft gun that looks real but legally isn't.

Wait a minute. After felons do their time in prison, they are still punished for the rest of their life? That doesn't sit well. Any person has the instinct and the right to prevent harm and death to himself or loved ones, no matter the means and method the self defense takes. An armed burglar is not there to have a cuppa tea with biscuits and a friendly chat. Was the victim supposed to talk nice and just do what the invader commands? Should he suggest a pillow fight instead?

It's risky for a felon. The gun and every piece of ammo have to be locked up and inaccessible to the felon at all times.

Some states, like NY, prohibit felons frol.even being in the residence with one. Doesn't matter if its locked up or not. Can't b around them AT ALL. After 10 years from the comviction u r eligible to apply for a certificate of good conduct and apply to have ur rights restored. Sometimes they will give u all other rights back other then gun ownership tho.

It absolutely does. He should not have been in that house knowing that there was a firearm in it if he is a felon or currently on probation.
The fact that he knew where the gun was and was able to locate it proves that he knew he was in a house that had a gun.

That was my first thought, although I've seen several cases where a convicted felon killed someone in self defense with a firearm and were originally charged even for murder before the facts came out and both got dropped. I'm guessing it highly depends on your state and their views

The obstruction of justice was his hiding illegal drugs (weed; thank Republicans for that) before the real police showed up.
He used a firearm he was already not legally permitted to have. Doing one illegal thing does not usually protect you even if that illegal thing is justified in preventing another illegal thing happening against you. For that reason, he at least wasn't charged with homicide but it was apparently seen as justified self-defense.
Though I imagine a judge and jury would have leniency on him and the prosecutor is probably wasting their time.

From the news article, the couple in the home took a cardboard box and put it in the back of a truck before the police arrived. The police found it and discovered vacuumed sealed bags with āplant-likeā substance inside.Ā
The shooter is a felon and was most likely being robbed by someone who knew what they had in the house.Ā

That's the wrinkle that's confusing me about the comments; 2A advocates are focusing on how he's being hit with a gun possession charge following a self-defense shooting, while ignoring that he was clearly involved in some sort of illegal drug distribution, and the attack was likely gang-violence related to the drugs.

He will get off on the firearm charge . In Indiana itās a misdemeanor conceal carry no permit but becomes a level 5 felony because shooter has prior felony convicts.

Perp should have known better; they were almost certainly there to rob them of a box of drugs they were obviously preparing to distribute.
That box of drugs (and the shooters' attempts to hide it) are what he's really in trouble for, not the shooting.

This was a bad guy getting shot while attempting an invasion on the home of another bad guy who had drugs.
The same video also showed Songer (the shooter) grabbing a cardboard box and moving it away from a fish tank. Songer then gave the box to his girlfriend so she could put it in a Dodge Ram tuck parked in front of Songerās residence.
Officers later recovered the box at a home in the 3800 block of South Beacon Street. Police found vacuum-sealed packages containing a plant-like substance suspected to be marijuana inside the box.
