Looks like a detailed, excellent explanation of the Wisconsin castle doctrine law.

Police officers do not share in the immunity now afforded the general population under the expanded Castle Doctrine.

No, they generally have much greater immunity.

And the shift in power from government to people is the core of the complaints.

Knock, announce, and serve a valid warrant.

Living within the constraints of the 4th amendment as written, and not as perverted by courts, would solve their complaints about folks protecting themselves.

"First, there is no research to bear out the notion that arming victims deters attackers," Nugent-Borakove and Jansen wrote.

Good article.

They even identified that the critics were funded by the Joyce Foundation. Van Jones, Obama, gun control, Soros money. All ya need to know about the critics' motives is revealed by the nature of their funding organization.

No, it does not _expand_ the right, it directs the government to _recognize_ it.
When a complete stranger breaks through your security at an indecent hour while armed, all appropriate questions about intent, probable outcomes, and consequences to the innocent have been answered. There is no sane reason why the law should presume the legitimate occupants did anything wrong, and side with the intruder.
