Well. I guess that means the homeowner will be up all night burying the perp instead of just reporting the righteous shoot. That sucks. Too much extra work now.
Just make sure the invader dies when shot?
Makes sense. Trial lawyers are a big source of cash for the Democrat party. The Castle Doctrine would cut off a source of income for them.
Remember that if your home is invaded you must stand back and let them have whatever they want, even your daughter.
Thats what the left wants.
Will this cause the homeowners to fire a couple of extra rounds into the still-breathing body of the invader?
Come on, Virginia, ride that horse to victory in 2012.
A related observation. I attended Lobby Day yesterday in Richmond. There were plenty of ordinary Virginians packing yesterday as they met with their representatives. You just let the security people know that you had a weapon when you went thru the metal detectors. No problem.

Speaking just for myself, Castle Doctrine strikes me as one of the most common sense provisions a legislature could adopt. A thief who’s just after your stuff is going to try to hit your home when you’re away. If he (or she) comes when you’re most likely to be home, then he’s most likely either desperate or after something a whole lot more precious than your material possessions. Either of those cases mean great danger for a homeowner and his family.
Simple solution. If you live in Virginia, shoot the intruder who breaks into your house.
Before the police arrive, place a “throw down” gun in the right hand of the dead intruder.
Can’t sue if you’re dead...
