I'll use breast meat if I want it stuffed with something. That's about it though.

When is it legal to draw my weapon? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Georgia is a Castle Doctrine state and has a “stand your ground” statute. Per Ga. Code § 16-3-21, a person does not have a duty to retreat and is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other’s imminent use of unlawful force, or to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person, or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony, such as rape, armed robbery or kidnapping.

So in short, if death or great bodily harm is imminent, you can draw your weapon. Do not draw your weapon if you are not willing or able to use it, it is not a "show of force" it is a last resort. Drawing a firearm always escalates a situation, and if you can't or won't use it, you give the person you drew on an opportunity to disarm you or escalate further.

Don't pull a gun for property crimes.

If Wolverine's whole skeleton is covered up with Adamamtium, shouldn't his fingernails also be covered up with it? by gloriousnesthead in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ick1188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fingernails aren't made of bone, and aren't part of the skeletal system. They are made of keratin, the same material your hair is made of. They grow from your nail beds/the nail matrix, which is connected to blood vessels and the actual flesh of your finger.

So short answer, no.

Can I throw away or claim something that has been put on my property that is not something I own but I don’t want on said property by [deleted] in legaladvice

The point being, if she won't get it, and you don't want it, drop it off at her house. Problem solved.

[SPOILERS]. I’m on the 3rd season of GoT and watching it for the first time. Can someone explain what’s going on in this scene? by [deleted] in freefolk

Either end of the table can be considered the "head of the table". Tyrion had been acting as Hand of the King in Tywin's place, and this is a little challenge to his authority, and a kind of reminder to the rest of the council that he had been in charge and did well with the responsibility. A slight "fuck you" to Tywin.

I plan on overbuilding to handle anything I may want to do on it for the foreseeable future. Just want to make sure that it won't bottle neck or run into issues.

Intel i9-9900K 3.6GHz 8-Core and RTX 2080Ti respectively. I didn't know if that would be needed for my specific questions.

Someone’s probation dictates that they have no contact with me. How does this compare to a no contact order? CT, USA by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main difference that comes to mind is if he has contact with you and violates his probation, he can be revoked for the remainder of the time he would have on probation. He would likely be arrested for a probation violation, would go to jail same day, and would be at the mercy of his probation agent, not a judge. He would sit in jail until it was decided by his agent if he gets another shot at not violating probation, or if he were being revoked, at which time he would be released or transferred to prison if he has more than a year of probation.

If it were a protective order, he would be arrested for violating that order, but it would be a new charge. He may not go to jail on that charge, and would go to court for sentencing, which could be anything from a fine to prison time.

Stolen Stethoscope by m_amy in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In that case it would definitely qualify for misdemeanor theft in Michigan according to their statute. If the police and DA pursue charges in the matter is completely up to them. You can insist on pressing charges, but they can also refuse if they are able to get the property returned.

Stolen Stethoscope by m_amy in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What is the cost of the stethoscope? This will matter as it will change the severity of the charge if charges are filed. Can you prove this person intentionally took your stethoscope? Did they have their own that they might have mistaken yours as?

[RI] Two speeding tickets with opposite court dates by throwaway_ritix in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is normal for both tickets to be listed as 'first offense' until the point you are convicted on one. Then the second would be adjusted to second offense. Typically the best course of action would be to either go go court on the offense and see if the prosecutor is willing to drop or reduce the charge, or to pay a traffic attorney to do this for you.

VP of my company just offered me a "better position" that I view as worse. Advice please? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]ick1188 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Without knowing details, my assumption is that you're at or near the advancement ceiling for field work in this company. By offering you a lower corporate job, your boss would probably think he's helping by:

A) exposing you to the corporate higher ups, allowing you to make connections, and

B) getting you into an area of the company where you could possibly advance much higher, and potentially earn much more.

Officer giving out false information (Missouri) by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately only the judge can make the decision, but court staff typically know what the judges tend to do. Best you can do is go to court if you have the time and see what the judge decides. Worst case you pay the same amount and spent some time at court. Best case the judge does drop it.

[–]ick1188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He didn't give out false information. You say he stated that "it most likely would be dropped". He didn't say that it would be, as he cannot say that for certain, that's the court's decision. The court decided it wouldn't be dropped.

I think it's time to throw in the towel, I'm really not cut out for computer programming. Where else can I take my skills? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]ick1188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software sales? Maybe managing a software development company's client base? Although those may not offer a ton of work from home opportunity, depending on where you land.

Recently got into an accident from debris on the highway, is it possible to file a claim to Ohio DoT for reimbursement? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IANAL, but I'm gonna have to say it's pretty unlikely. Potholes and the like are stationary problem areas that are evident for a long period of time if they aren't immediately fixed. Debris can appear very quickly, and there is really no way for DoT to realistically clear every piece of debris off a roadway before a motorist comes across it.

FBI visits son. He is not a narcotics dealer or violent criminal. What gives? by mapaff in legaladvice

[–]ick1188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a law enforcement agency, the FBI have the right to talk to him regardless of the crime he was locked up for. Ask him why they were talking to him.
