If some beech breaks in my house ! while im in the bathroom again don't you think I have the right to shoot them if I have the chance?

well, I think if you shoot them in the back, you'll have to hire a good atty. Not that I'm against what you say, but seems our system protects the criminal, rather than the victim.

Actually the law if followed by the law abiding protects them very well... I teach firearm laws and concealed carry classes here in Florida,, One must use good judgement anytime they pull the trigger... The SYG law isnt going to work if you are not in the right... 4 cases here in the last 6 months have proved that this law doesnt give you the right to shoot in many instances... Common sense must rule

that is so true

But the police have no responsibility if they fail to protect you.

The police have a responsibiblity to protect the community not the individual. However a common citizen is not police and has to follow certain laws,, the police also have certain laws they must follow..It is about time the citizens were given some leway in dealing with the comming police state...

Agreed.

I had an old boyfriend come back, came in a window and pounded the snot out of me and hurt me pretty bad. If I knew then what I know now, he would have gotten a chest full of lead. If someone breaks into your home, they aren't there for cake and ice cream.

honey I had two husbands that were abusive I got brave and beat them up and divorced them both I will never have another man raise his hand to me I will take a ball bat an whip his ass while he sleeps I know the signs when a man trys to be controlling that is where it starts.No man will ever tell me nothing I can not do , I explained this to my new boyfriend and he is a man of god and he loves me for me and treats me like an angel.

Good for you! I never thought it would happen to me, either. Thankfully only once. I told that to my boyfriend when we started dating too. He appreciated my honesty and and now we're married.

Would not hurt thee but I am about to shoot where thou art standing.

Good enough warning?

yeap

I would

I personally believe you do..... yup!

I'm not sure why you have to be in the bathroom. It is my opinion that you may shoot anyone who breaks into your house regardless of your location.

absolutely!!

no i was in the bathroom when they broke in

In most states that's illegal execpt Texas and maybe a few others.

You are mistaken. Most every state has laws that protect you from home intrusions. You are confusing this with stand your ground laws.

Each state differs in the way it incorporates the castle doctrine into its laws, what premises are covered (abode only, or other places too), what degree of retreat or non-deadly resistance is required before deadly force can be used, etc.

Typical conditions that apply to some Castle Doctrine laws include[citation needed]:
An intruder must be making (or have made) an attempt to unlawfully or forcibly enter an occupied residence, business or vehicle.
The intruder must be acting illegally—for example, the Castle Doctrine does not give the right to use force against officers of the law acting in the course of their legal duties.
The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe the intruder intends to inflict serious bodily harm or death upon an occupant of the home.
Additionally, some states apply the Castle Doctrine if the occupant(s) of the home reasonably believe the intruder intends to commit a lesser felony such as arson or burglary.
The occupant(s) of the home must not have provoked or instigated an intrusion, or provoked or instigated an intruder to threaten or use deadly force.

your so cool thanks

If some dude is breaking into my home with me in it, He intends to harm me...

More states will adapt the law to where citizens can protect themselves from unlawful force by police...

Indiana just passed a law where citizens can shoot a cops breaking into their houses,

Indiana First State to Allow Citizens to Shoot Law Enforcement Officers
Monday, June 11, 2012

Police officers in Indiana are upset over a new law allowing residents to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who unlawfully enter their homes. It was signed by Republican Governor Mitch Daniels in March.

no I am asking a question,some people think i should just scream and call the police but I really did not have time to do anything but go oops they ran so fast I really think they thought no one was home .

we can shoot 'em here....!! if they are in my house taking my things..... if I catch them..... I don't think they will rob anyone else.....!!

no it isn't
