I Now Have Limitless Power to Kill !

This according to Andy Wise at WREG.com.

MEMPHIS, TN -- With a legal handgun carry permit and a clean criminal history, there is no limit to how and where you can kill someone in self-defense in Tennessee, according to a Shelby County judge.

Shelby County Criminal Court Judge Chris Craft says the state's new 'Stand Your Ground' law, which went into effect May 22, not only gives "persons (with gun carry licenses) who are not engaged in criminal activity" limitless power to kill in self-defense, but it also strips criminals of their rights to self-defense, even against other criminals.
The funny thing is, outside of this inflammitory verbage, and the "Stand Your Ground" misnomer, the rest of the article is fairly balanced.

Guess 'ol Andy had to dress it up a bit for the editors, eh?
