I wish it were that simple here. Y'see, in California you can't legally assault someone simply because they're in your home--you have to be able to prove you were defending your life and/or the lives of anyone present at the time. Shoot an intruder in your house, and you'd better put a weapon in his/her hand if he/she doesn't already have one. And they had better be facing the right way, because if the investigators believe the intruder was attempting to escape your "self defense" story goes right out of the window. Now, any intelligent, reasonable, and experienced investigator will usually side with the homeowner as long as everything seems legit, especially if the intruder is on their radar for some reason. But if it winds up in a courtroom...well, we've all heard the horror stories of what can happen there.
There's signs posted all over the roads
in my state that literally warn you
not to "mess" with us.
I see this as directed towards those
who have decided to commit crimes,
and will face the consequences
from their victims who have the approval
of the law to blow them away.
