If it is for SELF DEFENCE I think it would be a good law or extension of the law that is on the books. Property defense, killing or causing grave injury to someone to protect property. I have a very mix feeling on that leaning to not.

not sure if its the offical name or not, but i lve in Florida. i always hear it called the "stand your ground law". basicly the samething yer talking about.

That wouldnt be a castle doctrine now would it? That would be a self defence law.
There is an important destinction; ambushing. You can 'sort of' ambush at home, but how can you justify any sort of ambush as defence outside?

I wish those laws applied in California. I hear we're trying to pass a bill that mandates all home locks to be switched around to lock the occupants inside and give anyone outside full access to the home.

Actually the Castle Doctrine covers your property outside your home, and even your neighbors home should they ask you to keep an eye on it. YouTube search Joe Horn in Texas where he killed 2 people robbing his neighbor's home.
Its also known as the Make my day law.

Michigan did that two or three summers ago. (signed by a democratic governor) Despite all the predicted doom and gloom, nothing bad's happened yet

...(be it with a gun, knife, hockey stick, whatever).
The biggest benefit of this (in addition to more fully recognizing one's right to self-defense) is it absolves the victim of any civil liability in any pending lawsuits filed by the surviving family members of the dead goblin.
To summarize: Castle Doctrine = inside your home
"Stand Your Ground" = any public or private place in which you have to right to be (e.g. supermarket, dry cleaners parking lot, city park).
I'll try to make it Thurs.

In other words, if someone breaks in, and the option is there for you to flee (surrendering your home and all your possessions therein to the scumbag who just kicked in your door), you must do so as an alternative to actually defending what is yours.
This "expansion" of the Castle Doctrine is more commonly referred to as a "Stand Your Ground" law, which means you have no obligation to retreat, and you can defend yourself with deadly force...
(to be continued)
I'll be looking forward to your report on the result of this Dave. Hopefully, the bill will pass.
