About a year ago there was a guy here in Arkansas that was drunk and “thought” he was climbing into his own window.

But he entered the wrong apartment and was shot and killed.

Don’t recall any charges against the person living in the apartment.

RE: A person may not use deadly physical force in self-defense if he or she knows that he or she can avoid the necessity of using deadly physical force with complete safety by retreating. However, a person is not required to retreat if the person is: in the person's dwelling and was not the original aggressor

There was a case in Pine Bluff where a man went out on his porch to yell at the gang banger kids to turn their rap music down. A shouting match and arguement ensued. Homeowner went inside to call 911...gang banger entered and homeowner gets into gunfight.

Court ruled that the homeowner was THE ORIGINAL AGGRESSOR and threw out lawful self defense. Guy plead to negligent homicide and did 7 years IIRC. I think it may have been turned over on appeal.....but was the prison time worth it?!

Ya gotta be careful out there!
