<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 1072000, member: 5629&quot;]A number of States have &quot;Castle Laws&quot; and/or &quot;Stand-your-ground&quot; laws. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine#States_with_a_Castle_Law" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine#States_with_a_Castle_Law" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> has an acceptable write-up on such laws. In many cases, the laws protect the property owner/occupant from both criminal and civil charges.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in Wyoming, self defense has been standing common law, even fatal defense.&nbsp; In 2008, Wyoming passed an actual &quot;Castle Law&quot;, though the common law already protected the occupant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instinctively, it is easy to have the feeling that you would take down any intruder that would dare &quot;touch my stuff&quot;.&nbsp; But, human life has a bit more value to it than as many digits in money that I can count on one hand.&nbsp; As a responsible homeowner, I have insurance policies to cover my &quot;stuff&quot; extensively.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is when the lives and safety of family and friends are at stake that an intruder better watch out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
