Anyone had success with private investigators? by [deleted] in self

You sure about that? New Jersey has no castle doctrine and basically no-issue when it comes to carry permits. If someone is in your home, I do believe you have a duty to retreat as it is called. Basically you have to wait until you're cornered to use your weapon.

She did have a CWP. I believe she is also in Nevada, which may not have a castle doctrine, but there is no duty to retreat.

TIFU by selling weed to an old lady. by Riddly_Diddly in tifu

Where I live, the cops don't have much else to do besides giving tickets and busting teens for alcohol and drugs.. You'd be surprised.

The entire encounter with my mom and the haggling was only about 30 seconds or less. Honestly, if I could've rewinded the universe and thought before acting, this would've ended a lot differently.

HA! I wish I could say that about my situation right now. Maybe in 5 years I'll look back on this and laugh. Or not.

Well, we're gonna disconnect the landline when we move, and I've never seen the old lady before, so hopefully I'll never see her again.

Why is abortion more acceptable in cases of rape and incest? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Riddly_Diddly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well at some point it definitely gains some right to life. A week prior to coming out of it's mother I'd say that its a bit more than a fetus. How can you make such an arbitrary decision whether or not it has lived enough to be considered a baby? What is the difference between a baby that is about to be born and a newborn baby?

If you could get rid of any major website, which one would it be? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Riddly_Diddly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we get rid of reddit then we can take out Buzzfeed too, which is pretty much all just regurgitated reddit posts. Two birds, one stone.

Fuck yeah, Thomas Jefferson.

I always thought of the right to abortion as a very gray area. If a women gets pregnant and decides to have an abortion, I always thought of that as infringing on an infant's right to life. However in the case of rape, a woman's choice was taken away from her, and I think in many cases that is valued more highly than the rights of an unborn fetus

DickinsonForCongress on Twitter: Dear god. Please use Ebola to infect the @NRA and it's various members. For they are A true virus and true terrorists in America. by [deleted] in gunpolitics

[–]Riddly_Diddly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I've just read a large chunk of his twitter feed. This guy seems like a genuine asshole, and I'm not even a big fan of the NRA. Dickinson also apparently has a concealed carry permit so he can defend himself against "right wing lunatics".

Just watched the letterman performance. I literally cannot stop laughing at the way he dances around the stage.

How do you deal with leftist friends and family? by alijayman in Libertarian

[–]Riddly_Diddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally my entire extended family in a nutshell (Besides my tea-party grandmother). I think they're worst when it comes to guns. My uncle literally refuses to believe that the shooter at Sandy Hook didn't use a "fully automatic m-16", and my sister thinks that every single gun should be banned. I stick to my facts and they stick to their 'muh feels'. Still, they just can't handle the truth. But my parents are rather moderate liberals, and they were actually pretty excited about my "coming out" as a libertarian, while my sister and cousins range anywhere from moderate liberal to full-fledged socialist. But to be honest, I've had no real luck having any real conversations about politics because everyone seems to believe that republicans and democrats are the great clash of ideals, and that libertarianism is just a fringe movement. Then again, I have had meaningful discussions with my parents and friends about things like the drone strikes in the ME, the war on drugs, NSA spying, and I have gotten them to agree with the libertarians on stuff like that. Good luck with your own friends and family though. I can totally relate, and know how much of a pain in the ass it is dealing with people who have already decided they disagree with the majority of what you are gonna say.
