The mans attorney says the case should be thrown out.
When police arrived at the North Broadway Avenue home early Sunday morning, they found Lucas R. Burney, 33, armed with an SKS assault rifle with one round in the chamber and a 30-round magazine loaded to capacity, according to a probable cause statement used to file a charge of unlawful use of a weapon by an intoxicated person.
A neighbor had called police to report Burney pointing the gun at their house, according to police.

And his poor neighbors who can have that piece of shit point his gun their way any night of the week. Is this fair to all those gun owners here? How would like to have a neighbor who gets drunk and points his gun at your house? Now only imagine people who don't need a gun to live, and to have this nut live within shooting distance of your home.
If one of your family members gets killed, are you going to blame the beer?

(15,189 posts)Stand your ground is to shoot anyone who you "think" is threatening you. And he thought those kids on the bike were the suspects. Why not stay indoors and watch through a window and call the police? No, he was ready and waiting for those little shits to pass his way again. They always get away.

While there may be after market 30 mags, I have found 20 round mags, the standard USSR issue was 10 rounds.

Drinking can lead to slowed reaction times and can result death from an attack.
Safety first, always stay clean and sober don't be a more willing victim.
