Is anyone shocked? Self-defense cases rise in Jackson County; prosecutor wants reform
Jackson County, Missouri, in the extreme western part of the state, and it is home to Kansas City, Missouri.
Missouri has a stand your ground law.
Prosecutor Johnson's office declined to charge in 12 cases in July and 46 for the year, citing self-defense statutes.
Is it perfect? Of course not. Justice is blind, because it is not perfect.
"More people in our community are using force, very often deadly, and feeling justified in doing so," Johnson said. "It is not our goal to remove anyone's guns from their home or possession. We are just trying to limit instances in which deadly force is justified in our community."
They don't want to remove the guns. They want to remove your ability to defend yourself. (Hat tip to Keep And Bear Arms.)
