Nah. I just figured the lawyers are fudging the truth because they are lawyers, and as soon as I saw THEM talking about a "gate" that hadn't been a part of any other news story... I got skeptical. But you know me... I always give them a chance... and they invariably prove to me in the wrong again.
Real talk? There are two legal concepts that I hear CCW owners discuss that are completely fucking alien to literally everyone else: "Castle doctrine" and "felony murder." And real talk? "Castle doctrine" and "felony murder" are dog-whistle language every bit as much as "death panels" or "death tax." The rest of the goddamn world knows them as "stand your ground laws" and, if you're a foreigner, "holy fuck you insane goddamn yanks" laws because in both cases, they are vestiges of a legal system that dealt with some of its issues since Dred Scott but not all of them and that fuckin' hell it flies in the face of lex talionis which has been around since paperwork looked like this: It will not surprise you to learn that both "castle doctrine" and "felony murder" are racist piece-of-shit laws championed by racist pieces of shit and that both are instrumental legal concepts designed to maximize the 'othering' of anyone in a conflict while also advancing the role of deadly force in conflict resolution. They are, in a nutshell, bullshit racist cracker dogwhistles designed to make you think like Wayne LaPierre. Don't think like Wayne LaPierre.
