Castle Doctrine Lesson Learned the hard way :: 01/08/2014
This instance of an armed robbery gone horribly wrong for the robber is clearly a Castle Doctrine defense, additionally, we suppose you could make an argument for disparity of force, but don't overlook the disparity of common sense. Old age and cunning will beat youth and strength, especially when old age an cunning uses, appropriately in this case, lethal force. The grandmother in this case is emotionally torn. That's common, and hopefully she'll be treated for PTS (we don't use PTSD, because post traumatic stress is real, its a natural reaction, and its hardly a "disorder")IF YOU HAVE A FIREARM IN YOUR HOME FOR DEFENSE, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND LEARN. Its not easy to take a life, but sometimes its necessary.
"Guns, the great equalizers. How else could a 63 year old woman who lives alone ever fight back against a 16 year old armed with a shotgun? A 63 year old grandmother, who does not want to be identified, had to use deadly force to defend herself and her home this week."
