Another lesson in the confusion of the stand your ground laws: self defense is not self offense.
I do have a question on the matter. What is the difference between tresspassing and burglary? (I assume it is because they didn't enter the building unlawfully to commit a felony like theft or assault but instead to sleep, no threat = no stand your ground ) Is it the fact the building wasn't occupied? I just am confused because I have heard news stories of people shooting at people breaking into and entering their home, even before they knew a felony was going to be committed. I was under the impression that you can use deadly force to stop a felony in progress (burglary) but how do you decide when that has taken place? or does there need to be a threat of immenant bodily harm/violence before it is justified?
