Florida bill passed on "deadly force"

[denton]

Again, laws vary considerably from state to state.

Our state makes a distinction between a gun that is loaded, and one that contains ammunition. It's loaded if it's an automatic, and there is a cartridge in the chamber, or if it's a revolver and one actuation of one mechanism will cause it to discharge. Otherwise, it's containing ammunition. By that rule, a Single Six is loaded only if the hammer is cocked, and a Redhawk is loaded, period.

I quite worrying about such subtleties when I got a concealed carry permit.

Obviously, Val, you need a bigger purse!

Trying to run somebody down with a Jeep sounds like assault with a deadly weapon to me... don't understand why the driver isn't still in the slammer.
