My thoughts exactly, so why would someone surrender their lives for that? In The great state of FL not only do we have a stand your ground law, we have a defend your home law as well. Meaning anyone who is in your house that you did not invite, also forfeits their life/you are allowed to shoot no questions asked.
I wasn't sure if a locked screened in enclosure counted or not. Either way the cop was sloppy in his approach, and should have been focused on the task at hand rather than sizing up my propane tank. Maybe we both learned a lesson that night.

If the lord was good then there wouldn't be any Americans like that left.
What type is that? Responsible gun owners who not only gave a potential thief an opportunity to run before excersizing his rights to shoot the theif dead.. Or an American who rightly surrendered to the police when confronted?

Are the privacy walls to keep the women in your compound?

So last century. I heard in saudi Arabia they are so high tech they use electric shock collars to taser their women whenever they leave the kitchen. You libyans are so behind.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Even libyan women don't like wearing the Hijab all the time, and it is also to protect them from men (you know how Muslims are obsessed with sex)

For some reason, the theme to the Beverly Hillbillies is going through my head.

If you think this is what Florida law has to say about armed self-defense, I strongly urge you to inform yourself better - because it says no such thing. (Hint: Look for the words "forcible felony", which are oddly absent from your description. "No questions asked", my ass.
