Can I stand my ground or make my day with any weapon other than a gun?

Will official law enforcement officers no longer be able to claim ‘I thought he had a weapon’, as justification for shooting any suspect’, since carrying a weapon is allowed.

Does an official law enforcement officer at this point, now have to be required to allow a person to display a weapon and any other required documentation to prove the weapon is legal.

Do armed neighborhood watch groups have to be deputized in order to pursue a person? Does the Taxpayer have to pay for this person if they get hurt or cover the expenses of any trial they may be involved. Do they become quasi-legal State employees>
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    You can "stand your ground" with a gun or pretty much any other legal weapon. But you can't take said gone, follow some innocent person, corner and provoke them, and then shoot them.

    Why would there be any impact on law enforcement?

    The taxpayer already pays for armed neighborhood watch groups... they are called police departments.

    Why would any other "neighborhood group", be allowed to patrol armed or be deputized? Your last question seems bizarre.
