A lot of states with those laws probably also have "Stand Your Ground" laws and loose guns regulations, so really nobody should go there.
And as a blue blooded, god feering, gun toting, truck driving, steak eating, pussy grabbing, anti-woke, America first, patriot like myself that is exactly what we want. -s
The actual risk of being effected is still pretty low.

It eases the legal requirement to run away when someone attacks you, as opposed to fighting back.
Edit: Oh, that was rhetorical.
Those laws basically say it's OK to shoot someone if you feel threatened. You can practically get away with murdering someone for looking at you the wrong way.
Fine, maybe I misinterpreted why people think it's OK to shoot at people for knocking on their door or pulling into the wrong driveway. I still don't want to go to places where people are likely to do that.
It happened several times in the last year, I’d mark it as realistic.
Do you routinely walk into open expanses during electrical storms?
Both are safe activities in Canada!
Neither of those things should get you shot and/or killed what the fuck!
You can't say they won't when some dipshit shot at a kid for knocking on his door lol. They will.
Yeah, we're not having a discussion. You're just kinda jerking yourself off and moving the goal posts so I'm out.
Yeah, sometimes. I live in a country with strict gun laws though, so I’m less concerned about getting shot than I am about getting hit by lightening.
Kinda weird to be randomly knocking on doors, but to each their own. The country is also massive, just visit the nice states. Depending on where you live, youd be just as likely to be stabbed then shot at for knocking on a door.
