DrA writes: The Castle Doctrine seems designed to appeal to people who would like one day to shoot someone, get away with it, and feel smug about it. Personally I hope I never have to shoot someone, but I would to protect myself or others. If I did ever have to shoot someone it would only be as a last resort to stop a threat.

Re: The case of Tony Martin
JUC writes: I understand you can only do this for personal defence, not for defence of any property. I.E. If you attack someone simply for the fact that they broke into your house or your car, when there was no immediate risk to anyone’s safety, then you can and almost certainly will be prosecuted for that. If someone breaks into a house is that not a sufficient indication that there is a risk to the safety of those in the house?

Re: The case of Tony Martin
Mr Jack writes: That, and because he shot them in the back as they were fleeing. Well, shooting them in the back may be a little extreme, but a shot in the ass should always be seen as a legitimate reminder.

Even if true, is there a problem with that?

But none of those are applicable in the case of breaking into someones home. It is not a property crime, it is an invasion. It is not substituting suspicion for proof, the person broke into someones home. It is not uniting in one person the office of plaintiff, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner, it is protecting ones home. And yes, the parents of that kid did feel bad and I'm sure that even the person that shot the boy felt sad, BUT as happened in that case, the only crime committed was breaking into someones house.

Dogmafood writes: Does a hungry man deserve to die because he tried to steal some of your food? But that is unrelated to the issue. No one says someone deserves to die for stealing food, no one even said anyone deserves to die. The question is whether or not you have a right to protect your home from invasion?

Dr. A writes: No, in that case the only crime committed was walking up someone's driveway and ringing his doorbell. But because Peairs suspected for no reason whatsoever that the kid might be going to commit a felony, he shot him and the law was on his side. Is that a good law? I can't say whether the ruling (judgment/verdict) was right or not. The law seems fine to me. And breaking into someone else house is the crime, regardless of why someone breaks in.

I have said I don't know the specifics of the case and it could well be a miscarriage of justice as well as poor judgment. BUT, I still don't see the problem with the Castle doctrine.

On using a firearm for defense.
I think I need to point out one thing that is a basic in every self defense class I know of. The goal, whether it is martial arts, shooting, knife fighting is NOT to kill someone, it is to stop the threat.

Re: Trayvon Martin
Is there some reason you used the term "murdered" instead of the more honest term "shot?"

Re: Trayvon Martin
Whether YOU think it is murder, fortunately, is irrelevant. It's not murder until it is judged to be murder in a court of law in the US, thank God.

Re: Trayvon Martin
But so far you have presented no facts to support your use of the term murder. You may think it was murder, but that fortunately is irrelevant.

Re: Trayvon Martin
Well, no, you have not presented all the important facts, except perhaps, all the facts YOU consider important. For example, you did not present the fact that the incident has not yet been presented to a grand jury and that that is already scheduled for next week. Edited by jar, : take out excess 'o'

Re: Trayvon Martin
And if that is the case, then it is not 'murder'.

Re: Trayvon Martin
No, in that case it would not be murder. Sorry but them's the facts. Cain is not relevant since neither Cain or Able are an American, living today under US Laws.
