[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 73159068, member: 302807"] ??? If her key worked in the door, she's got a good excuse for thinking it was her apartment. Once she's inside....stranger or not....it should be pretty obvious pretty quickly that it's not her apartment. If you're thinking of Castle laws....I'm pretty sure they aren't a blanket excuse to murder people. They allow you to assume someone who breaks into your home is a threat....but if they dispel that notion before you shoot, you're still in trouble for killing someone. For example, someone breaks into your home at night, you get out of bed with a gun to go investigate. They see you with the gun and run for the door with their hands up screaming "don't shoot we aren't armed!"....you can't legally argue at that point that they posed a threat to your life. If you shoot them in the back on the way out...and one lives to talk about it....you could be facing murder charges. More importantly though, as far as I know , castle laws only apply to [I]your home.[/I] [/QUOTE]
