Can You Lawfully Shoot a Threat THROUGH Your Front Door?

Law of Self Defense - A podcast by Attorney Andrew F. Branca

A couple are awoken at o-dark-thirty by the sound of loud banging on their front door. As the man retrieves a firearm the woman calls 911 to report an apparent home invasion.  Then the glass in the the door shatters and the male homeowner fires a single shot through the front door. When police arrive they find a very drunk and very deceased college student dead from gun shot on the front porch.  He had just moved into a home on the same street, and drunkenly thought he was breaking into what he mistakenly believed was his own home. In fact, this college student had no criminal state of mind when he tried to enter the wrong home, and would have caused no harm if he'd not been shot--yet the homeowner nevertheless shot him dead through the front door as if he were a genuine home invader.  Learn the Self-Defense Law you NEED to BE HARD TO CONVICT, for FREE!Grab your own copy of our best-selling guide to self-defense law for FREE!"The Law of Self Defense: Principles" is our best-selling, plain-English explanation of your legal privilege to use even deadly force in defense of yourself, your family, and others--AND MAKE YOURSELF HARD TO CONVICT!DON'T WAIT until you're actually ATTACKED--by then it will be TOO LATE!---> Get your copy for FREE (except for S&H) by clicking HERE RIGHT NOW!Disclaimer - Content is for educational & entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal advice.
