Hi all:
I've had a very heated "discussion" with a friend of mine concerning Castle Doctrine.
He thinks that if someone breaks in to your house uninvited, you have the right to kill that person. He thinks that's what Castle Doctrine means.
I've read about Castle Doctrine and what I get out of it AND I think it's perfectly clear is that if someone breaks into you house and threatens you WITH a weapon, you have the right to use deadly force to DEFEND yourself, but not if the person is unarmed.
Is it possible he's right?
