Does anybody know what N.Y.C laws entail in regards to "Justifiable Homicide" with a legally owned firearm?
I live in N.Y.C (civilian), have a N.Y.C premise permit, have a registered handgun; However, I am uncertain when it comes to protecting my family and property from intruders.
When I received my permit and registered my gun with N.Y.P.D, they provided me with 'no feedback' in reference to Justifiable shooting's. Additionally, I have researched and found NO information to reference.The incongruities and ambiguities concerning these matters, can create uncertainties and confusion for legally abiding Gun owners in N.Y.C as myself.
In the event of an intrusion, from a tactical point of view, many scenerios can transpire (intruder in: backyard, hallway, apartment, basement, etc.) Many circumstances, as well ( intruder armed, unarmed, aggressive, non-aggresive, accompanied, etc.) I just want to know what my limitations are (how many shots too many), hence, in an emergency, I will know what to do, and what not to do.
Also, I commend the individuals in these stories, of whom defended their lives and those of their loved ones. By any means.
