Actually most cases I have read where "Castle Doctrine" or "Stand Your Ground" is questioned by the police and/or dismissed by the assistant DA as not applicable are those in which the perpetrator was retreating. If one shoots a person retreating, and that person turns out to be unarmed, one best have a good lawyer and deep pockets!
I think it's BS. I hate that if someone breaks in your house, which in my views, is a serious threat to you and your family, armed or not. If he breaks in without a weapon, that doesnt make him not dangerous, or take away that he could grab and kind of KNIFE, or blunt/sharp house hold object and use it as a weapon....
If someone breaks in another persons house, and gets caught and then shot/killed..... Tough luck! Shouldnt have been where you dont belong, ontop of breaking the law!!
