Porch pirate caught red handed.......strong language.

[Hangfire]

Tickles me how his main man drove off and left him when he saw the rifle.........looks like the thief needs to pick a more trustworthy get-a-way driver next time

Curious, on his own property and never actually pointing the weapon at the thief would that be classified as "brandishing" a firearm in Okla. ?

Pretty sure you don't have to point it at someone for it to be "brandishing". Having said that, on his own property, confronting a thief, I'm not at all sure he would be charged. In fact, I think as long as it's slung he can legally carry it around anywhere, thief or not, right?

Sure looks like he could have gotten that rifle taken away easily enough. Or at a minimum a struggle to keep it.

I'm an Okie from Muskogee and I carry a gun on my hip on my property.......call it what you want, don't matter to me.

Depends on how liberal the local DA’s office is, and whether or not it’s an election year.

 

[MR.T.]

He is defending his property. That is legal.
No charges would stick.

It’s Michigan. 50/50 chance on the DA being understanding.

Theives suck! I'm glad I have never had a problem with porch pirates.

 

[OHJEEZE]

I saw a man excerising his rights to keep and bare arms!

It seems as brandishing and to bare arms is one in the same to me!

Only thing is brandishing is a negative term misrepresented by a poor excuse of a law!

Because sometimes brandishing (or to bare) arms is all it takes to end a conflict nonviolently!
