THE LEGAL ASPECT IS SO VAST THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN UP DURING YOUR GUN SAFETY SEMINAR, BUT MOST OF THE QUESTIONS ARE; IF EVER A BURGLAR ENTERS MY HOME AND I WITNESSED HIM TAKING MY VALUABLES, SHOULD I SHOOT HIM OR NOT? REMEMBER THAT YOUR FIREARM IS FOR PROTECTION OF LIFE OR LIMB ONLY, NOT PROPERTIES. IT IS BEST THAT YOU SHOUT 'FREEZE, I HAVE A GUN!' OR MAKE A WARNING SHOT IF POSSIBLE.

YOU MAY NOT ALSO CARRY YOUR GUN IN PUBLIC IF YOU DO NOT HAVE  

PERMIT TO CARRY FIREARM OUTSIDE RESIDENCE (PTCFOR).
