Yeah, you could always shoot someone who entered your home, but the problem was you had to prove you took every available means to remove yourself and family from harms way, ie your back was to the wall and there was no other option available to you. If you could not prove this, and shoot someone, and they lived they ended up suing you or if they died their family wanted you put in jail.

So these new laws, do not required any of the above, you can shoot someone and you do not have to justify it especially if they entered your home, now if you shoot them outside like an incident in Florida, as long as you can show your life was threaten you can shoot them to remove the threat.

I am so glad they have turned this around and put criminals on notice that they can be shot and killed for entering someone home.
