we have the right

We have the right to do a lot of things. We also have a responsibility to do a lot of things. Right and responsibility seem to go hand in hand most times. Some rights are overlooked, or curtailed, limited. Like the right to bear arms. Except we can’t really. Legally. Most laws in this case vary from state to state, but correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe you can carry one in Illinois. Or perhaps even have one in your home. Since there isn’t really hunting in the city of Chicago, I’m not sure how you would justify having a rifle in your house. I know you can have a shotgun in your house for home defense in some places. But the laws to which when you can use it and the legal ramifications if you fire it are so convoluted nowadays, I would never even bother to own one with the laws how they are today. I heard a story about an old woman who shot an intruder in her own home, at night. He broke in. The twist is after she shot him, HE sued HER. And won. What a world we live in. It’s a scary thought that could happen. The fact that someone could break in your house and sue you if you retaliate is upsetting. I saw one law was entitled “make my day” and detailed if someone is in your house, you have the right to use force to remove the threat. No one would burglarize homes then.
