"don’t even think about moving down to the really good seats unless you feel lucky, punk.”

The craziest and most destructive law passed during the last session was of course, passed by the MO General Assembly.

Feeling the Castle Doctrine defined “castle” too narrowly, Missouri State Representative Joe Don McGaugh proposed a bill allowing any citizen to use deadly force to protect against unlawful entry of private property.

....The bill allows for force by “occupants” of “private property”— conditions written so loosely that occupants could refer to a diner or a baseball game attendee or someone watching a movie, while invasion could mean anybody they feel intruding on whatever property they happen to be on.
