I belive everyone should arm themselves and homes with some form of personal protection, whether it be a home alarm system, spy & surveillance capibilities, to a small can of Mace, any deterant, anything. I have made sure my daughter in college is well armed with some of these weapons, my wife as well. Arm youself America, you never know. I enjoyed your post, thanks.

The Castle Doctrine is a common law rule. It's ancient. There is literally no state that does not recognize it statutorily or in case law. 2nd, just as the article mentions the "weed harvest" in the house is irrelevant to the self-defense issue. I'm guessing this guy wouldn't have been charged in a majority of states simply because of the protection of the Castle Doctrine not including the presumption. What what are homeowners to do in a situation like this?? call the cops and wait? Be a victim? Americans have never been encouraged to be victims or be punished for not being one. The Castle Doctrine doesn't encourage violence it is meant to safe guard your fundamental right to defense yourself and loved ones. If someone wants to pick on a state with "real dangerous and scawwy" self-defense law, try Florida. Of course Harvard has already tried that... And blood is not running in the streets, or rather living rooms and kitchens, of Florida. I have a hard time seeing how this type of law and incident does not deter criminals. First of all.

While I agree that under the letter of the law this probably does not fall under the doctrine. But even if we don't *presume* that "actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful force.", I think it's a pretty logical conclusion. There is a 2 men in your house with knives. Regardless of what brought them there, they forcefully entered the house with weapons. Waste 'em. Disclaimer: I am a gun-owning pothead who lives in Texas. LoL, there goes all my credibility :) Hey, just found this when searching for into about the Castle Doctrine.
