If you want a strong self-defense law, then you have to have things like "he said, other guy's dead" -- think about it -- in your house, do you have video cameras, etc to prove anything, or in a similar situation would it be -- he was being threatening, and I fired, and then he turned to run toward A) exit B) crowbar C) shotgun or some other weapon D) wife, kiddies, etc so I kept firing, in his back, until he stopped being a threat. The dead guy still forced his way into the other guy's house at night, end of story. By forcing his way in, at a time when he knew the...we need a good word for someone who shots a bg in self-defense, he demonstrated, IMO, sufficient harmful intent to justify the use of deadly force -- I sure wouldn't be having a long debate if someone smashed into my house at night -- and I doubt many people who plan to live through someone breaking into their house in their sleep would.
