Well, I think we can all agree that it's always the right thing to shoot Hitler.
**Bloodlust**READ THIS THREAD BEFORE POSTING IN THIS SUBFORUM!
THR and our sister board TFL are unlike any other firearms forum on the World Wide Web. The ownership and staff of both forums work hard to keep the standards high.
The Strategies and Tactics Forum is a bit different then any other forum on THR. Here we talk about shooting techniques, legal subjects, how to take care of yourself and others in an emergency, first aid and emergency medical subjects...anything that is related to living safely can be on topic here.
These are serious subjects and they deserve serious, thoughtful posts. Think twice and post once really applies here.
We will not, under any circumstances advocate any illegal conduct. Members who do, will lose their membership without any further warning.
We will not advocate the use of deadly force under any circumstance when deadly force would not be called for. Flip comments about no retreat and castle laws making it legal will not be tolerated. Any member who posts a comment like that will lose their membership without further warning.
The use of deadly force is not a subject that should be taken lightly. There are many legal and moral factors to consider before any force is used. We will no longer take the use of deadly force lightly here. If you have the need to say those things there are other places where those comments are welcome and even the norm. They are no longer welcome here.
These are the Strategies and Tactics forum's rules for employment of deadly force:
Deadly force will only be used to prevent the immediate use of force that could cause death or great bodily harm to yourself or another.
This is how the rule will be enforced:
We can discuss what's legal and what's not in in various jurisdictions. What isn't allowed is the smug posts like; "You should move to Texas we just shoot em for that down here." Posts like that are counterproductive, a waste of bandwidth and potentially damaging to our side in the ongoing culture war.
If you are going to suggest that someone actually use deadly force to resolve a situation, then that situation has to meet the rules of engagement in the first post in the thread. No more; "We just shoot em for that here." posts.
A comment like; "Even though (insert state here) law would permit me to shoot in that situation, I would only shoot if I could articulate a threat of death or great bodily harm against myself or another." is acceptable. "(Insert state here) law says that I can shoot anyone no matter what they are doing if I find them in my dwelling, car, camper, yard after dark...so I'm shooting to slide lock as soon as I see him." is not acceptable.
Here in the Strategies and Tactics Forum we may have a somewhat higher standard for the use of deadly force then some laws may permit.
The standard I picked for our use not only promotes responsible use of firearms but is legal virtually everywhere in the US.
Violation of the deadly force policy here will have repercussions just like in the real world.
