Does this not mean you have more freedom to defend yourself without fearing prosecution?
For instance would it not make sense to employ your own methods of self defense up to carrying an illegal firearm or a blade? If 9/10 times police do not care you have to take your safety and safety of your property into your own hands.
- RickS 7y agoIt absolutely means that, and I've seen it play out like that. But "that guy tried to rob me, so I stabbed him" isn't awesome. The goal is harm reduction, not evening of stakes. An eye for an eye isn't helpful when you're trying to reduce total eyes lost. I can understand why vigilante security/justice is sometimes better than none, but I don't consider it a great solution, especially at scale.
