Firearm Laws

I think that Firearms should only be used by police officers and others with a license that represents one's ability to properly wield a gun.  Such a powerful weapon can make deciding when to use it a very tough thing, since death is such a common result, if not intention, of a gun's use.  So, police officers on duty should be allowed to use their firearm in the situations they have been trained to use them in.  I think that is appropriate.  As for personal use by any other adult... One should only use a firearm when on their own property, and only in the case of self defense. However, I do not support carrying a concealing weapon into a public restaurant or other venue such as a school.

I agree with the Castle doctrine, which states that deadly force is justifiable "when the actor reasonably fears imminent peril of death or serious bodily harm to himself or another".
