[QUOTE="hrdware, post: 1889365, member: 24475"] [URL="http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=461618"]Dawkins v. State[/URL] Decided 01/05/2011 Short version - Dawkins shot a guy in true self defense, however he could not claim Stand Your Ground defense because he was using an illegal firearm (sawed off shotgun). In order to claim Stand Your Ground defense, you have to 1)Be some place you are legally allowed to be, 2)Not be doing anything illegal, 3)Meet force with force. It is my opinion, that if you are behind a gunbuster sign, you are 1)Not someplace you are legally allowed to be, you know the owner doesn't want you there, and 2)Since you are behind a gunbuster sign, you are trespassing. Therefore Stand Your Ground could not be applied to your defense. These are just my personal opinions, but I don't want to be standing in a court room trying to defend my actions to a judge who has the same opinion. [/QUOTE]
