RE: Lethal force under all circumstances

Comment comment by VnutZ on 26 February 2008

Castle Doctrine defines the defense of the home. I suppose you could be that crotchety old guy in a rocking chair wielding a shotgun at neighborhood kids if you wanted to. I believed it to be an unwanted intruder where all circumstances are defined as everything from intending to murder you to simply snooping around.

So, what if you invite a friend in and then get in a political argument? Once you decide you want him out of your house, you're free to kill him if he doesn't leave fast enough? What if you invite someone in and then catch them going through your diary? What if the ten year old boy next door sneaks in and you catch him trying to find dirty magazines under your bed?

(I can keep going, if you need more.)
