I used that ‘example’ based on the definition of PREMEDITATED.
Think out, or plan, beforehand.
But ‘premeditating’ in the sense I used should not ‘assist’ the prosecution.
If the guy hadn’t been ‘breaking the law’, my pre-planned action would never have been needed.
Right... Where that line is drawn in MT is at the mantrap... A automated, self-actuating device used with the intent of killing an intruder. One cannot use a rigged shotgun to protect one's front door, as an instance... That is a mantrap. But defense of self and property is given a wide berth here.
