Authorities say Krissy Noble was justified in shooting and killing a home intruder while she was pregnant.

A young woman who killed an intruder may be heading to prison, even now that authorities have ruled the shooting justified.
In December, Krissy Noble shot a man named Dylan Stancoff with her husband's gun when Stancoff forced his way into her Fort Smith, Arkansas, home. Noble was 11 weeks pregnant. The case was sent to the Sebastian County Prosecutor's Office, which determined that the shooting was justified.
But Noble still faces felony gun charges because of a previous drug-related conviction. In 2017, Noble pleaded guilty to felony possession of marijuana with intent to deliver as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. (She had been pulled over while riding in a vehicle with friends. Each person in the vehicle received the same charges when no one claimed the items.) She got a five-year suspended sentence, and as part of that was prohibited from either possessing or using firearms.
After Stancoff's death, the authorities filed a petition to revoke Noble's suspended sentence. She has since been charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a gun. Yesterday Noble turned herself in, was booked, and was released on a $2,500 bond.
Noble gave birth to her son earlier this year. If convicted, she tells ABC News, she could spend a maximum of 24 years in prison. "That's my baby's life," she lamented. "I won't even know my child."

Now... when faced with the choice of being carried by six or judged by 12... Ill always pick being judged by 12... and she made the better choice. She choose to LIVE... which was smart. Now she can live in prison and face the consequences for her past felonious activity. Unless youre a weak overly sensitive SNOWFLAKE, that exuses personal responsibilities, then any conservative minded person would expect this female to pay for her current behaviors as they relate legally with her past criminal record.

Too bad she doesn't live in Chicago. Oh, they have the same law. They just don't enforce it. Which is why felons carry guns -- and use them -- in Chicago.

I can't see any jury voting to convict her of gun possession, and the prosecutor must realize that.

Ah, no. She got married after the shooting. At the time of the shooting she was Krissy Tran and it was her boyfriend's gun in her apartment.
Police also found a .20 gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber pistol and a bolt action rifle in her closet.

Her rights were violated when the intruder entered her home and the firearm was discovered as a direct consequence of that violation of her rights. So that evidence of her firearm violation should not be allowed to be used against her.
Otherwise, others in a similar situation will, upon seeing a life endangering threat in the form of a home intruder will be dissuaded from using deadly force to save themselves and others. Their choice will be to suffer either death or serious bodily harm by not shooting, or going to prison if they do shoot. All because someone decided to commit a crime against them.
That ain't right.

Krissy Noble pleaded guilty to felony possession of marijuana with purpose to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. She is still serving her five years probation. She violated the terms of her probation. She faces revocation of her probation and a gun possession charge.
Noble "allegedly brought a .40 caliber handgun from the apartment bedroom and placed it on the TV stand in the living room prior to answering the door."
"Officials during the course of their investigation into the incident found a .20 gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber pistol and a bolt action rifle in Noble and her husbands closet in addition to the handgun used on Dec. 7. The affidavit for warrant of arrest alleges that between Nov. 7-Dec. 7, 2017, Noble possessed firearms."
She carried the handgun from the bedroom to the living room and staged it there before opening the door. Also three more weapons were found. She ignored the terms of her probation regarding possession of a gun. She is toast.

Thats what I was trying to tell the Paultards... thank you.
If this criminal cocksucker didnt wanna be limited to defend herself with a knife, hammer or bat... then maybe the bitch shouldnt have willingly, intentionally and purposely committed a felony.
I have no sympathy for criminals. I leave that up to the snowflakes.. like MSM and Dicktard.

She, and other convicted felons in Arkansas, was prohibited from possessing firearms, or having a firearm readily available for her use.
Her constitutional search and seizure rights were not violated by some non-governmental intrusion.
The po-po arrived because there was a dead body in her house and she had made it dead. Their entry and search was lawful and all is legally admissible. They did not discover the handgun, she placed in on a table and, when they got there, she pointed it out to the police.
Whether somebody was shot righteously or not, her possession of the weapon violated AR Code § 5-73-103 (Possession of firearms by certain persons). Her existing suspended sentence of 5 years may kick in, in addition to any prosecution for unlawful possession of firearms.

She did not bring the dead body and put it in her house. The dead body walked in by itself, quite uninvited.
While your other technicalities are reasonable, the end result is that a convicted felon was faced with a choice to either shoot a intruder in her home that posed an legally recognized immediate threat to herself and her family and go to jail, OR place herself and her family at the mercy of the intruder.
Unlike the legal points you make, that is NOT a reasonable choice to give even a convicted felon.

Natural law gives any individual the right to protect themselves and their property. And nowhere in the Second Amendment does it state that felons are barred from using firearms for self-defense.
The fact is - the woman was not convicted of a crime using handguns. That in itself should be taken into consideration here.

Correct. But nowhere does natural law say that individual right includes the use of a .40 cal Glock.

Under your logic, an American doing a 3-7 year bid in a state correctional institution, should be allowed to have a gun in his cell, because now his cell is home, to protect himself with.... and under Dicktards paultard law, the USSC would agree?

Technically, yes. But if the gun wasn't hers and she only used it to defend herself in her home from harm, the jury may give her a pass.
I say 'may' because there are two felony violations here -- possessing/using a gun and violating the condition of her 5-year suspended sentence.
For example, if she was 15 years old and used a handgun (which is illegal) to shoot an intruder, it's unlikely she would even be charged. But you couple that with another felony ... it could go either way.

Well, of course. It's a God-given inalienable right! It's natural law! He has the right to defend himself with the weapon of his choice!
So do little children. And illegals. And the insane. And terrorists. It's a God-given right and protected by the second amendment.

False dichotomy. There was a third option -- keep the door locked and call 911. But she didn't use that option because she knew she didn't have to -- she was armed.

She completed her parole and weapons violations before the body walked in uninvited and got dead.
There is not technicality. When she picked up the gun and transported it to the living room, she violated her parole and AR Code § 5-73-103 (Possession of firearms by certain persons). The parole violation and the unlawful possession had been committed even if the guy had never come back to the door just to find himself dead on the floor.
The investigation indicated that she was in possession of multiple weapons during the previous month. She broke the law, got convicted, got a five year suspended sentence, ignored the terms of her suspension, broke the law again, and got caught again.
Why did she move the gun from the bedroom to the living room? Why did she fear for her life? Why did she open the door for the second time?
Unlike the points you make, mine are the actual law, cited and quoted. When people present their imaginary law to a court, it does not usually work too well.
The simple fact is that Arkansas law prohibits convicted felons from possessing a gun. The 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms only applies to lawful possession. Her possession was unlawful.
Had she no felony conviction, but she had picked up an M-16 machine gun and used it to protect herself, she would have the same problem of being in unlawful possession of a weapon, in this case an unlawful M-16 machine gun, no matter how righteous the shoot. There is no 2nd Amendment right to unlawful possession of a weapon.

The 2nd Amendment does not protect the non-existent right to unlawful possession of a weapon.
Imagined natural law yields to actual statute law.

Whether she was the owner of the gun, or not, is irrelevant. She possessed the gun. She retrieved the gun from the bedroom and transported it to the living room, and staged it there before open the door the second time. She had access to the handgun, and the other guns, before the guy showed up the first time, and before she opened the door the second time. Her violation of probation, and AR Code § 5-73-103 (Possession of firearms by certain persons), was complete before the guy who became the dead body ever showed up. Having a dead body in her living room only led to the discovery of the felon in unlawful possession. Her problem is not using the gun to make the guy dead, but being in possession.
A jury cannot give her a pass for parole violation/revocation.
She is not charged with a bad shoot. She was a felon found in unlawful possession of multiple weapons. A jury may always do as they please, but the law and the evidence appear quite clear.

The part about the right including the right to possess a weapon which is unlawful to possess.
The right that is protected has never included guns unlawful to possess.

You are obviously not a supporter of the second Amendment.
9 times out of 10 in these situations, calling 911 only guarantees a forensic examination of the crime scene will be expedited.

You argue what the law is. Fine.
I argue how that law fails to serve the people. If you don't want to argue about whether a law is beneficial or detrimental to society, then there's nothing for us to debate here.

Being punished for a crime is by definition a suspension of rights, even natural or God-given rights. That much I understand and endorse.
I would agree that the blanket barring of convicted felons from possessing handguns after time served, and especially for crimes that are not violent, are unreasonable, and as demonstrated in this case, unnecessarily put the person in danger, depriving them of their right to self defense which they in no way are considered to have forfeited, as again, demonstrated in this case where even the state has agreed the shooting was justified.
By admitting the shooting was justified, the state is making clear the woman, even as a convicted felon, had the right to defend her life with deadly weapons. But at the same time, they are prosecuting her for being in possession of a weapon that she apparently had a full right to use, even while possession was still illegal. It's contradictory on its face.

There is nothing to debate here. I am arguing the actual law as it applies in an actual, specific case.
There is the actual law and a few million personal opinions about whether it is good, bad, beneficial or detrimental. It is still the law and you violate it at your peril.

100% correct and she is 100% guilty.
But if I'm on the jury I'd be inclined to cut her a little slack given that a) the gun wasn't hers, b) she was young (21) and 11 weeks pregnant, c) was alone in her own home, and d) was defending herself from a stranger who broke in.
That is assuming the story is true and they didn't leave anything out. But since the article lied about the gun belonging to her "husband" (he was her boyfriend at the time) and never mentioned the arsenal in the closet, I'm thinking there may be other surprises.

Then she should have been sentenced to five years on the drug charge and this never would have happened. But she wasn't and it did. NOW you want to get tough?
"Those outside circumstances should only be weighed at sentencing."
I agree. That's normally when they're considered. But the jury doesn't do sentencing. As a juror, my only power is nullification and I'm simply saying that I'd be inclined to use that power in these circumstances. And I'm against nullification.
