Biden’s Advice Gets Virginia Man Busted

Vice President Joe Biden, a gun owner, told a Field and Stream reporter that if you want to keep someone away from your house, you should just fire a shotgun blindly through a closed door. Of course, this is irresponsible, potentially deadly, and an ineffective use of ammunition. So when a Virginia man took Biden’s advice to fire on some trespassers, he got arrested for reckless handling of a firearm.

From the WashTimes here:

The man was in his bedroom when two armed masked men leaned through the window and warned him to close the bedroom door. The 22-year-old did — but not before he stepped into the hallway. He then grabbed his shotgun and fired several shots through his closed bedroom door, toward the window.

He was subsequently arrested on reckless handling of firearm charges.

In a recent interview, Biden said he told his wife that if she ever experienced a problem with a home intruder, to “just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put [out] that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house”.

Attorneys in Delaware, where Mr. and Mrs. Biden make their home, said to do so would be illegal. It’s a felony reckless endangerment violation to fire a weapon into the air in the state.

Isn’t it amazing the people in charge know the least about an issue they are trying to legislate? I think this Virginia shooter should argue in court that Biden’s advice amounts to a Vice Presidential pardon, or at the very least, Federal published guidelines on firearms handling. I’d love to see a court of law call Biden a dumbass.
