This map is incorrect, NY does not have a castle doctrine. You are only authorized to use deadly force in the home if you have no means of retreat or to prevent serious injury or death to someone else. There’s a case from Springfield Gardens (in Queens) where a guy beat up someone who broke into his house with a baseball bat but ended up getting charged because he did not retreat.
Of course, although yesterday I caught someone coming towards my sign That walked away once they saw the camera and I caught them walking back the way they came on the other side of the street from me a minute later. I live on a very small street of only 4 houses so it’s pretty obvious what his intentions were. Sometimes just knowing you’re being watched is enough of a deterrent. Also in my state it’s a $250 civil fine for every legally placed political sign you remove before the general election, so I have extra motivation.
Yeah, I accidentally got a little on my hand, if you try and wash with soap and water and then rubbing alcohol it’s still not quite enough to get the greasiness off and that’s not counting the extreme tackiness of the stuff. If anyone touches it they’re gonna have a long trip to the nearest sink.
Can confirm. Moved here from NYC, quality of life was greatly increased, the only real traffic is on 95S on Sundays during tourist season. As for rent, we have a 2 bedroom with heat included, room to park 3 cars in our driveway and a small backyard for $1,100 a month, you can’t even get a studio apartment in NYC for that price. We can actually have a life here.
I did. That’s why I left. Best decision I ever made.
