I live in West Virginia, bordering Ohio. A few years ago, there was much talk about the Castle Doctrine laws changing in both states, as well as others, in favor of the homeowner. And I heard about a homeowner out west being acquitted because of it.
Can anyone explain the changes from the previous laws?? Not that it matters that much ... I'd be comin' up shootin' before the change or not. My doors are locked at nite and if anyone gets in the house, it's too bad for them. Mr. Wesson and I were never really in the habit of checking picture IDs and thumbprints before we shoot. In my own locked home, I've always been of the mindset of save my life now, and deal with the law later, and alive. I interpret the constitution as giving me that right.
Anyway, its great to hear of a positive change for the gun owner, with all of the gun control talk goin around these days.
