Only in Pa. In Fl. this would not have happened.

[A. F Medic]

Man comes back to his house after working. Finds a 44 year old burglar going through his house. They both see each other. Bad guy goes for his pistol and the home owner stabs him in the chest with a reproduction Jap sword.

Coroner does exam and wants home owner charged with homocide!! No charges yet for the home owner.

Only here in NW pa.

Don't underestimate the stupidity that can be found in any state.

Hope the sword wasn't damaged.

Hope the sword wasn't damaged.

It was only a reproduction.There is a use for them!!!

On a serious note I guess PA doesn't have the castle doctrine?

[campperrykid]

Sounds completely crazy.
Some links would really help to get a picture of what actually happened.

Are you sure that this happend in the States and not here in Germany? I thought only we have stupid laws.

Unfortunately there are parts of the Autobahn - out in open areas, no less - now that have speed limits as low a 100 KPH (60 MPH). A real pain in the *** since I'm happier at 170 KPH!!!

Yes, i like to drive our cars with 280Km/h if the Autobahn is free! It is a nice adrenalin fun.

Pa is like Va, no castle doctrine. As a fellow said we have the shoot , shovel and shutup doctrine.
