yep....but your rule of protecting your domain(house) only works if someone kicks down your door with a shotgun or weapon in there hands and is there for the sole tention of killing you....then you coul dhave whipped out a gun and put one between there eyes. BUT if a person bust in your door to ROB your house and there is a door between you and him in the old way you would have had to try and shut that door to put room in between you and him.

"Secondly, if after having taken such proper precautions, a party should be assailed, he may undoubtedly repel force by force, but in most instances cannot, under the pretext that he has been attacked, use force enough to kill the assailant or hurt him after he has secured himself from danger; such as if a person unarmed enters a house to commit a larceny, while there he does not threaten any one, nor does any act which manifests an intention to hurt any one, and there are a number of persons present who may easily secure him, no one will be justifiable to do him any injury, much less to kill him; he ought to be secured and delivered to the public authorities.
