if someone enters your property are you allowed to kill them?

What would happen if someone broke into your house and you murder them out of self defense

[Redfish225]

Depends on where you live, here in Louisiana if someone is attempting to break into your house you can blast them through the door or window before they’re actually inside.

[stevemckenna]

What if I hit a fresh straight outta the box Titleist ProV1x into your backyard and I jump the fence into your property to retrieve it?

[theory816]

You can shoot them if they are facing you, but not if they are taking off.

So basically if they see you and don't turn around and take off, you can shoot them. But you can't shoot them if they ran off.

[Reserrection]

Depends where you live. some places will lock you up for defending your property

[dingler]

If you live in a duty to retreat state you had better have a very good reason to shoot them otherwise it can easily be turned on you. If you are in a castle doctrine or stand your ground state fire away the second you feel threatened in your home.

[ParsleyTea]

Well, it depends up the circumstances and location. Here in Florida there is something called Stand Your Ground. I believe that is what it is called. If you feel your life in threatened then you can defend your self. You shouldn't shoot someone in the back if they are trying to flee, after breaking into your home for an example. If they are in the house though, and felt to be a threat, you do have the right to protect you and your family, even if that means killing the intruder.

In northern blue states and cities, government officials do not want you to defend your self or your property. It is a bit strange in a way. they have been defunding the police in blue cities and states, and they are prosecuting those that defend themselves from harm.

Gang members seem to be an exception. Shooting a gang member in Chicago appears to only be a $25 fine. gang members shooting each other often times are not even prosecuted in Chicago I've read about a couple times.

[PowerPal]

tie them up

[MeSoHawny]

Is the person black? No you are not allowed to kill them

Is the person why? You are not allowed to let them live

[RICHSTRONG]

Yes...choot em

[Rylol]

And risk a lengthy prison sentence?! Best workaround is to get a German Shepherd lol.

[BrunotheBoxer]

Sadly in todays world you need to check not only state law but county laws.

Somethings sound super unconstitutional, Such as FL has a 3 day waiting period on gun purchase. Hillsborough Country (tampa FL) is a 5 day waiting period. WTF?



Also even if its legal to do so, dont count yourself done with the ordeal, expect to be sued by the criminals remaining family members. "All he wanted was his car, if he just left the keys in the ignition, he wouldn't have broken in, he didn't deserve to DIE!!!" blah blah blah

“The Florida Constitution imposes a mandatory three-day waiting period, excluding weekends and legal holidays, between the retail purchase and delivery of any handgun. This waiting period does not apply to concealed weapons permit holders or to the "trade-in of another handgun."

[kusok]

Depends.

Depends on the State, and what exactly they did and where you shot them. To be safe make sure you know the laws in your State, and shoot to kill, in the front if possible, basically always remember that your lawyer will have to argue and prove that you feared for your life and were actually physically attacked or had imminent threat to your life like if a guy charged at you or had a gun on him etc.

Even more retarded is that you will be legally much better protected if you first warn him that you have a gun and fear for your life and will shoot him… But then this would give him time to react etc. It’s a tough situation. Basically shoot if you fear for your life and remember you will have to defend this decision in court. His family will sue you for 25 million etc.

As an example, here in NY I can not shoot someone unless they enter my home, driveway is ok for them to be at apparently… you can not fire to the street, BUT if you are fired upon from outside only then you are allowed to shoot to the outside from your house etc.
details…

[Polaris]

Depends where you live. Some states - yes, others expect you to "retreat".

[azumi121]

Where I live, yes. But honestly, get a guard dog. Had someone try to get in my house until they heard the dog going nuts.

I’d shoot a mofo with the quickness if they got in, but really don’t wanna leave my fate up to the American Justice system

[SYKO227]

It's not murder, it's self defense. Murder is something they would easily do to you. If they want to live they can stay tf away.

What are you going to do, ask them if they're going to kill you or just rob? Fk them

Roaches check in but they don't check out.

Too bad some chit places expect you to run away and protect the criminal scum instead.

Bruh... Same!! I have a Glock 20 , FN Five-seveN , & a Marlin .45-70 in my safe simply because they had them in the case at my LGS as I was walking by to use the range... lol

Depends entirely on the circumstances, primarily where you live and their intent. Here in Canada, if someone busts in to rob you, you'd damn well better help them carry your stuff out lest they sue you for sustaining an injury during the course of the robbery!

[radrd]

I live in Seattle where it's only legal to kill someone if they kill you first.

Let me try again.

"if someone enters your property are you allowed to kill them?"

In Canada, the answer is "No, you are not allowed to kill them." In fact you can be held responsible for the intruder's injuries.

[PShift5]

Not in your cuck country

[CuttyUnderleaf]

Mississippi too, even our curtilage, occupied vehicle and place of business is protected by the Castle Doctrine.

Location = Toronto = No.
