You don’t have to cower in your own home

It might not have mattered in the case they cited, but in Missouri and many other states, Castle law extends to your vehicle or anywhere you have the legal right to be. With the woman being unarmed it would be hard to make the case that you had a reasonable fear for your life though.
 
A great article that makes a lot of good points. Stand your ground but do so in a manner that does not project yourself as the aggressor but definitively the probable victim and you had no choice,
Wafer made the choice to be the aggressor and it cost him.
know/knowing the laws in your state and municipality, the best defense is knowledge.
 
Does anyone else see the inherent irony in this story? The guy was sentenced to 17 years in prison for doing exactly what our most likely future president told him to do in these situations. I'm really hoping he requests to have the video played at his first parole hearing.
 
Regardless of what the idiot-elect is on tape as having said, you never fire from within and you never open the door. If you are geniunely in fear for your life and safety, you call 911 and keep them on the phone, you grab your weapon, and you take up a defensive posture inside your home. If the threat breaches your boundaries, all bets are off because they have now broken the law (you will still have a difficult case if they are unarmed, though). But shooting someone on your porch, or in your yard? To quote Chuck Larabee from Last Man Standing.... "not cool". Also, not legal when you are indoors (behind a boundary) and they are outdoors. If they accost you while you are outside, on your property, minding your own business? That's another story...but "repelling the threatening horde of crying teen girls trying to break down my door"...not really a strong legal defense. The guy screwed up.
