is not justified under this section unless the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is specifically required by statute or unless it occurs in the lawful conduct of war. If deadly force is so justified, there is no duty to retreat before using it.

Works for me ... I've never seen a case in this wonderful state where the shooting of a burglar wasn't no-billed.

Seems to me a homeowner in Iowa was charged for shooting an intruder during a breakin. This was several years ago, I think. I don't remember the outcome.

Can anyone confirm this? I can't so far.
