Lord, make me fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who wish to harm me and mine.
Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”.
and Lord, if today is truly the day you are to call me home,
Let me die in a pile of brass.


It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Before the Castle law there was a provision that if you had the opportunity to retreat and did not then self-defense did not apply. Now you don't have to retreat but you still have to feel that you or another's life is in jeopardy.

That is it in a simple version. No need to complicate it.



YOU should not attempt to articulate anything. You’re attorney should handle that.
The answer to any question prior to speaking to your attorney is “ I thought he/she/they were gonna kill me/them. It’s the lawyers job to sell/tell the story.

good point. I should have said that you be able to articulate the events to your attorney and don't lie because you may have to repeat it to people very skilled at getting to the truth. Now certainly, if your lawyer thinks you are lying he's not going to let you testify but he can't tell your version for you if it is needed.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I have handled several stand your ground hearings since the law was put into effect allowing for a pretrial determination about immunity. What hoggin said is exactly correct.

Bottom line is you can’t kill somebody because they steal or destroy your property.

But it doesn't preclude you from trying to stop them from stealing or destroying property, correct?
And if during that process of protecting your property a legitimate perceived threat emerges, then you are not precluded from using deadly force, correct?

Example: You see a guy trying to steal something from your driveway or carport...weedeater, mower, whatever. You intervene and guy doesn't flee but makes a move toward you with bad intentions. Doesn't that then get us back to the justified use of deadly force under threat and fear of safety or loss of life? Contrasted with...you see some guy stealing a weedeater and you just shoot him dead...no threat.

These , at least to me, are the real life scenarios that happen with more frequency. Robbers and thieves and piddlers get confronted and it escalates.

But are you the instigator if you are reacting to the robbery at hand and just happened to be armed? Say you hear a noise in your carport and are checking your property armed and the guy starts coming at you agressively? I don't see that as being the instigator but easily could be wrong.

What or who is the instigator? In terms of whether or if stand your ground applies that is decided by the Judge. If he rules against you argue it to the Jury. Both are pretty scary propositions in my neck of the woods.
