You can Google "castle doctrine convictions" and get a ton of cases cited where folks are convicted and other cases where the conviction is overturned. Personally, I just prefer to let local law enforcement handle the bad guys. Let the cops shoot the fuckers if they get violent, this is the best return on tax dollar investment in my opinion! The state and its various employees have this "elitist" attitude towards the common citizens, claiming everything they do is to the letter of the law, but the truth is the state rarely punishes its own for lethal mistakes. Hey, we have the best justice system money can buy...
