They can attempt to repeal all the “stand your ground” and “Castle Doctrine” laws all they want. If someone breaks into my home and threatens my life, they are going to eat magnum buckshot. Period.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

And when you are arrested for defending your life it is critically important that you not waive time at your trial. Your lawyer will try to get you to do this. He'll tell you that "It's a standard courtesy to the court." If you don't waive time they have to bring you to trial in some short (45-90 days, varies by state) time. Longer delays only benefit the state. Your lawyer is lazy and the extra time won't benefit you, just him. In fact, if your lawyer tells you to waive time (and you are innocent) you need a new lawyer.
