First, you must have a reasonable belief that you are in danger. Second, you must use reasonable force necessary to defend yourself. Third, you have a duty to retreat, if possible. This means that if I feel threatened by you, but I have the option of running away then I MUST run away. I can only resort to self-defense if I have no other option.


Some states, however, hold that when the intruder is on your property you have no duty to retreat. This means that if you are on your property then the only issue involved is whether you had good reason to feel threatened and whether or not you used reasonable force to defend yourself. The duty to retreat is not an issue if you are on your property.|||In Florida you can shoot first and ask questions later, but in California and in every other state you better keep the gun in the holster.

They are already breaking the law for being on your property but im not sure if you can shoot them just for this. I believe you can in some states though|||Oh God...why would you want to shoot anybody? Geez. I think I%26#039;d move out of that neighborhood.
