You know, I realize most of my impression of Seattle gun law comes from anecdotal evidence from those I know who are avid collectors and hunters and what they have been though. Those laws may be in practice a bit different than the black and white letter of it BUT you made me do some more research. Most of the cases I looked up supported my position from the face but get a little deeper and there are some obvious reasons that they were convicted. At least when it comes to lethal use during a break in, I cede the point.WAWhich state?In my state, no.A mob is on your porch shouting that they want to kill someone in your house while beating on your window. You are inside your house , in full view of the mob, and pointing a gun at the window. They finally break the glass, and one of the attackers starts climbing through. Are you justified in shooting that attacker?No idea. Does it make a difference? The mob worked hard to break out the glass from the doors to the Senate chamber, and she was the first to try climbing through.What about Ashly Babbit? What was her criminal record?Is DEATH ON SIGHT the proscribed punishment for having a criminal record?It’s acceptable because the fascists are in total control of the country.
Yep, the city manager in Brooklyn Center was fired for merely mentioning due process and one of the city council members admitted she did so out of fear.
And then this from the shit-head mayor of Brooklyn Center.
If it is so bad in America for blacks then fucking emigrate.
Floyd and Wright both had criminal records...didn't they ?
First of all the killer cop was under orders not to use lethal force and there was no justification for it.
Trying to crawl through a window does not justify the use of deadly force......the black cop simply wanted to kill someone.....he was a radical blm member and full of vile hatred for white people in general and trump supporters in particular.
And most of the gun control advocates want to make it worse. :/The castle doctrine, also known as a castle law or a defense of habitation law, is a legal doctrine that designates a person's abode or any legally occupied place (for example, a vehicle or home) as a place in which that person has protections and immunities permitting them, in certain circumstances, to use force to defense against an intruder, free of legal liability. This can include deadly force. The term is commonly used throughout the United States to describe a “no duty to retreat” from a home, abode or car.The Castle Doctrine | Washington Gun Law

If a person has a duty to retreat to avoid violence, they must do so. But the Castle doctrines negates that duty to retreat when that individual is assaulted in a place where he/she has a right to be, such as within one's own home. Deadly force may be justified and a defense of justifiable homicide applicable, in cases "when the actor reasonably fears, imminent peril of death or serious bodily harm to him or herself or another".
Since Washington courts have consistently held that you are under “no duty to retreat” when in a lawful location the same would apply when you are in your home, car, office, or any other location where you can lawfully remain. The most common area we see the Castle Doctrine applied is home invasions. There is no doubt, that you are under no duty to retreat from your home and you may use whatever reasonable force necessary to protect yourself inside your home.
