I noticed that some bleeding heart anti guns types have been poo pooing on Florida's so called "stand your ground" law as having been partially responsible for the thug's death. Florida isn't alone.
...Many states have some form of Castle Doctrine or Stand Your Ground law. Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming have adopted Castle Doctrine statutes, and other states (Iowa, Nebraska, Virginia, and Washington) are currently considering "Stand Your Ground" laws of their own.
Some of the states that have passed or are considering "stand your ground" laws already implement "stand your ground" principles in their case law. Indiana and Georgia, among other states, already had "stand your ground" case law and passed "stand your ground" statutes due to possible concerns of the case law being replaced by "duty to retreat" in later court rulings. Other states, including Washington, have "stand your ground" in their case law but have not adopted statutes...

We have the castle law, but if you catch the burglar, you still have to shoot as he is coming towards you. If you shoot him in the back, you are going to prison.
I do not think the law is that black and white. What if the "burglar" has his back to you, but is heading toward your child's bedroom? Also, how would you know if the trespasser is a burglar? If a person breaks into a house when people are present, the trespasser may have other intentions other than stealing property.
all those guys' thinking is based on assumptions that, upon examination, can be viewed as very shakey indeed. Your thinking is based on an assumption that they "just have to be right".. You were rewarded in childhood for learning to regurgitate what the teacher/textbook told you so you feel good about your assumption that they "just have to be right".. That's about the extent of it all, that's why some of us consider the majority of "science" to be such a yawner.. Science has been so wrong so many times, there should be a course in that subject..
