I do not profess to be fluent in law. Sometimes I don't do so good with English. I don't know the difference between a "law" and an "ordinance". I thought that one was state or federal and the other was local. So, I did use the wrong word. The least of my concerns is the liability of the town.
It was explained to me by two different lawyers that it would fall under the definition of "a resonable person" if another person would have been in that situation and the outcome would have been the same. And NO! I would not sit by and let something happen. I would deal with the outcome after the situation was ended. The fact is, by what I have been told, you do not have the right to use deadly force, even in your home, unless your life is in danger. The State does not consider someone entering your home to be a direct danger to your life. My understanding that your ability to protect your "property" has also been changed in the last year. If somebody out there knows that my facts are wrong, please correct me. I am all about learning.
