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. Good points. I just know I'm not going to just stand there and/or help the bad guy load up my stuff into his vehicle or pockets....written as a hypothetical for discussion and educational purposes only, for disclaimer.

Bottom line is you can’t kill somebody because they steal or destroy your property. Wanna bet? He should have said, you can't legally kill someone for stealing or destroying your property.

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. You can not be the instigator and take advantage of stand your ground. Defense 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. It would be a question for a judge. But, I would say, if you go to investigate a noise and you catch a someone stealing and they advance on you in an aggressive manner, you are defending yourself. If you catch them and they don't try to attack you and you just shoot them, you are going to be in trouble.

How's a dead guy gonna tell the cops he wasn't attacking when he got shot? I once had a guy tell me he keeps a screwdriver in his pocket for such occasions. “He grabbed a screwdriver and came at me with it and I was in fear for my life.” ALWAYS ALWAYS CARRY a screwdriver. Of coarse I’m just kidding about always carrying a screwdriver but it’s a good idea to always have one in the console in case a tailight burns out.

Was taught to calm down breathe after event be polite,compliant and tell story as calmy quickly as possible then.....SHUTUP! The current thinking that they teach police officers is to get one good night of sleep and then tell it to whoever you need to. Keep in mind that the Garrity Rule compels them to give a statement or face possible discipline up to termination. This is simply an administrative investigation to determine whether they should face discipline or not. Any statement they make can not be shared with whomever is doing the criminal investigation, nor can it be used in court in the criminal investigation.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

How's a dead guy gonna tell the cops he wasn't attacking when he got shot? He doesn't have to if he is laying in your yard and the shell casings are in the house, of the shell casings are 20 feet from where the body is laying. Or he is shot in the back. Of you have a security system that shows what happens. There are a lot of ways to prove guilt without a statement from a victim.

So in the middle of the night I hear a noise someplace on my property and I attempt to investigate it. Out pops a person scaring the life out of me. I put 3 in them center mass from my drawn pistol. Am I in danger of having breached the requirements of the castle doctrine?

Am I in danger of having breached the requirements of the castle doctrine? The answer would be very fact specific. It would depend on where the person was, are they in the house or attempting to enter the house? How far away from you are they when they jumped out? Where they armed? There are dozens of things that would make the answer turn one way or another. Many of the cases where it is determined the person was justified in the use of force, still result in an initial arrest, the requirement to post bond and the need to hire a lawyer to defend you before the charges are dismissed.

How often does that happen when the situation happens at someone's home and the person shot is an intruder? I would say that it isvery very rare that the homeowner/occupier is ever charged. Even before the Castle statute was enacted.

The judge granted my stand your ground motion to dismiss. Most of the cases I’ve seen where the homeowner was charged were attempted murder/assault cases. Because there was a live victim to tell their story.

Then the rule needs to be rewritten because nobody should be held responsible for someone uninvited and anywhere on their land or in their home or in their vehicle acting in a manner causing the owner to fear for the life of the owner or anyone else in their presence.

I highlighted it for the ones of you with reading comprehension problems.

Even before the Castle statute was enacted. Too many are still trying to complicate a simple issue. Did you fear for your life or the life of another? It is a lot easier to answer this in the affirmative when someone breaks in and intrudes on your home than it is in a bar for instance, but the same basic question is all that has to be answered.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
