(1) The entry is made or attempted in a violent and tumultuous manner and he or she reasonably believes that the entry is attempted or made for the purpose of assaulting or offering personal violence to any person dwelling or being therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the assault or offer of personal violence;
(2) That force is used against another person who is not a member of the family or household and who unlawfully and forcibly enters or has unlawfully and forcibly entered the residence and the person using such force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry occurred; or
(3) The person using such force reasonably believes that the entry is made or attempted for the purpose of committing a felony therein and that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of the felony.
So if someone walked up to your car opened up the door and sat down and said get out of the car and you pull a gun and put one in his shull you are in the wrong.

BUT if in the same situation a person walks up with a baseball bat and smashes in your window and tells you to get the fuck out and you pull a gun and put one in his skull....then you are in the right but will still have to fight it in court.

Same situation as above now if the gun shots out the window with a gun and you pull a gun and put one in his head you are defending yourself from death.

So i am not agruing that you are wrong i am jsut saying that the new law gives a more detailed line, than did the old law!
