Mississippi 'Castle Doctrine' Self-Defense Bill Signed Into Law

[??????????]

W/out a doubt yes.

Beside the issue of evidence, it seems like you would be allowed to summarily execute an intruder even after you subdued him on your own.

Quote. Exactly, the perfect crime. Make it look like the man you invited into your home to have done away with was an intruder. BANG. He's dead and you're in the clear, who's going to accuse you otherwise? An awful piece of legislation.

I love it when the subjects of a monarchy (who don't even have any gun rights whatsoever), preach to Americans about our gun laws.

With regards to waiting until the gun is pulled out, the police are generally required to do this before they can legally kill someone. I wouldn't think it would make sense to allow private citizens more leeway in self-defense then it would the police.

Of course, I would entirely agree: in public areas, one should have to wait until a gun is pulled out. However, different standards should apply when one's own home has been broken into.

In general, when someone breaks into your property, I would think it reasonable for you to assume that he intends to cause harm to you, even though no gun may be in sight.

Especially in the middle of the night. Let me tell you, if someone broke into my house in the middle of the night with my wife and children at risk. I'd open fire, no question about it.
