Self-Defense in New York State

It remains to be seen if it is legal. Victim identified in Brinckerhoff shooting in Utica

For reasons I can't explain, this got stuck as a draft for a few of weeks. Still worth a look. (And no, there have been no updates that I could find.)

The 46-year-old man shot and killed ... in Utica on Saturday has been identified as Jeffrey Nash, according to the Utica Police Department. Investigators said Nash was shot while inside another person’s home.

No charges have been filed, and in Texas, or Oklahoma, the cops would be taking the homeowner out for a beer. In Florida, the sheriff of the county would be saying how good it is that people have the right to defend themselves and their families.

But this took place in New York.

District Attorney Todd Carville said there are several “legal issues” that need to be investigated regarding the circumstances of the shooting.

Sing the refrain: DAs HATE self-defense.

Self-defense IS a human right, but New York hates that.
