No, thank YOU, BassCliff!Hi,
I'm bored. So shoot me. This is for Mr. @Snake45 and Mr. @Keystone19250.
This is the lousiest castle doctrine I've every heard of. Emphasis is mine. I'm no lawyer so I don't know how this would fit into the (intruder's) knife vs. (homeowner's) gun argument in court.

No, thank YOU, BassCliff!
I didn't see one word in there about you may not use a gun against a knife. In fact, I didn't see anything that contradicted the generic, 50-state standard for the use of deadly force that Ayoob taught me in 1988: "Immediate, otherwise unavoidable danger of death or grave bodily harm to innocent human life." Good then. Good now. Good everywhere in the US. And not a word about who's armed with what, if anything.
Thanks again, BassCliff!

If they break into your house it's highly unlikely you will be judged by 12.Hi,
Judged by 12 vs. carried by 6.

Yup. First line of defense is the “monster”. However, in reality he’s probably more of an alarm than attack dog, but i wouldn’t want to test that theory.…IF they make it past waking up Fido from her nap. She doesnt like to be woken up…

Yeah, that would have been my goldens. Milo the “moster” has a real possessive streak when it comes to my wife.
There are several states where you might be able to get away with that. In others, most definitely not. That's why I like Ayoob's standard, as cited in post #46. That one's good in EVERY state in the US.If someone breaks into my house with a knife they will be shot.
What state doesn't consider a knife wielding home an intruder an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm ? That idea is ridiculous and dangerous. Dude is coming at you with a knife and you are supposed to be thinking about how you can avoid being prosecuted for defending yourself WITH WHATEVER YOU HAVE AVAILABLE ?????There are several states where you might be able to get away with that.

Things have greatly changed in some states.What state doesn't consider a knife wielding home an intruder an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm ? That idea is ridiculous and dangerous. Dude is coming at you with a knife and you are supposed to be thinking about how you can avoid being prosecuted for defending yourself WITH WHATEVER YOU HAVE AVAILABLE ?????
I saw a video of Ayoob talking about the 21' rule. That was outdoors. He says a lot of crap. Don't mod the trigger of your carry gun for instance.
I think when you make your living talking about self defense scenarios you eventually run out of things to say and start dreaming up.
I'd ask the same thing I did when I asked him ( or anyone) to give me an example of someone being prosecuted over a trigger job. Is there ANY examples of someone being prosecuted for shooting a knife wielding attacker ?
I'm glad you brought that up. Go back and read what mikep said again:What state doesn't consider a knife wielding home an intruder an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm ?
