Normal self defense relies on some variant of "reasonable belief of imminent danger of death or great bodily harm." The purpose of castle doctrine laws is to add another (highly state-dependent) situation to allowing the use of force, something along the lines of forcible entry into a residential dwelling. | |

| Sep 1, 2023 at 12:10 | comment | added | IKnowNothing | There are at least two facts missing that makes this impossible to answer: 1) Does the homeowner believe he is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. 2) Is that belief reasonable. | |
