As long as the place was his home, rented or owned he had a right to tell anyone to leave.


Number one, you don’t know WHO the phuq I voted for, so no reason to get personal.

Number two, as stated in above article, once boyfriend fired a shot from a gun that shouldn’t have been brought to a trespassing or verbal argument, in the first place, Dad may have thought he had good justification to try and disarm him.

“Once you have been told to leave the property and refuse, you are past mere trespassing.”

Nope. STILL, just trespassing, and NOT grounds for deadly force.

As CHL said, having a gun ALREADY on your person is one thing. Making a decision to go and RETRIEVE a gun (hidden behind a door you can LOCK), escalated this.
