Yeah, you cannot shoot someone unless you feel your death is imminant. Basically, you can't fire until it's too late. Such a great law it is. Basically saying I can't kill the fucker unless his hands are around my throat.

And if you shoot an intruder and say he falls out of your door or window, you're fucked. He isn't in your home, so you basically shot someone without probable cause (and somehow they can dodge this even if he's carrying a weapon). And if he survives you're boned even worse. Because then he can sue your ass for all you got and basically rob you more effectively than he originally set out.

So if an intruder enters your house in NY, bend over because you're fucked no matter what. I'd rather live in Florida, where you can shoot someone on your lawn if you feel threatened. My uncle who lives in Florida finds it neccessary to brag about this to me often. :P

Living in New York, I'm sure they're too scary to own here. God knows what the politicians would think about citizens being able to safely shoot around corners.
Well, they're legal, doesn't mean there's anyone selling them. Honestly, I don't really see the point anyways. They're neat, but where would you use it?

If you had the right gun, you could hide behind a tree and shoot deer with it and they'd never see you.

Or maybe you just want to shoot around corners for shits-and-giggles. IMO, we have the right to do whatever we want for S-&-G, and shouldn't be limited on it.

I'd want to be able to defend my home with a cornershot. Look around corners to see if the intruder is there and it hands like a rifle so i can aim better

The only problem is reloading. The gun would have to be removed from the system to reload it, which would be a big problem. So I'd carry a ready sidearm as well, even if my primary sidearm was in the CornerShot already.
