Thanks Dave. In addition, what remains to be seen is not only the amount of time this felon gets sentenced to, but how much of it he will actually serve. In our state, as in OR, it's quite common for these types of criminals to get early release and to then reoffend. The message we're sending is that we're going to make it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves against these criminals and we're not going to treat the criminals all that harshly. This is a huge mistake.
Great reporting, Dave. Thanks.
