RKBA is a DKos group of second amendment supporters who also have progressive and liberal values. We don't think that being a liberal means one has to be anti-gun. Some of us are extreme in our second amendment views (no licensing, no restrictions on small arms) and some of us are more moderate (licensing, restrictions on small arms.) Moderate or extreme, we hold one common belief: more gun control equals lost elections. We don't want a repeat of 1994. We are an inclusive group: if you see the Second Amendment as safeguarding our right to keep and bear arms individually, then come join us in our conversation. If you are against the right to keep and bear arms, come join our conversation. We look forward to seeing you, as long as you engage in a civil discussion. RKBA stands for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Field & Streams, 25 handguns 4 hunters
PROVIDENCE — Matthew A. Salvato, a state-licensed grower and consumer of medical marijuana who remains under criminal investigation for having shot to death an intruder in his apartment, was in court Thursday on charges that he grew and kept more marijuana than his licenses allowed. Salvato, 22, also is charged with firearms offenses. Salvato, who armed himself with a pistol when he realized there was an intruder in his apartment, fatally shot the masked man. The intruder was armed with a handgun, too — it turned out to be a pellet gun that resembled a regular pistol — and the police pronounced it a case of self-defense. link

As I read this, I guess one can't actually use your weapon to defend oneself even if there are 30 ppl. threatening you. And the splitting of hairs (legally) is the frightening part here.
"But the law says you can only use physical force to deter physical force. Grier said he never saw anyone pull out a gun, so a court would have to decide on firing the gun'"----quote from article.
Now that a legal gun owner has been disarmed and arrested, doesn't this send a message to other gang members in this gentleman's neighborhood? The wrong message?
