That is simply AWESOME, but the part that made me laugh out loud was "Well, I shot him again, and I guess that was it" Keith Hoehn said.

Best part of that entire story....

"Investigators say the couple were just defending their family and probably won't be charged."

[Car Guy]

Agreed, and Texas' Castle Law should be nationwide with out a doubt.....

Falls under the "He needed killin' " defense.

if theis were anywhere else other then the south, they would be charged and going to jail. good for them

[Reverend Cooper]

[CPonyGo]

awesome....

[flyin_blue_egg]

in this instance you could have shot and killed the men in any state, as they entered the home armed and pointed their weapons at the husband and wife. now if the wouldn't have pointed the weapons at them then in WI the husband would go to jail

I recall about a year ago, a 60-something year old man in Milwaukee (from out of state) was attempted to be robbed at a gas station and he shot the would-be-robber dead, and wasn't charged because it was self defense. Anyone else recall this?

I was told that WI doesn't have a self defense law??

[fivonut]

I actually find that story a little disturbing!!!








The husband (or wife) should have been able to shoot them with their owns guns, not have to take them from the intruder.

We have self defense, for people. You can't use deadly force solely in the defense of property. Like that dude down around racine found out when some thugs were stealing stuff outta his/his girlfriends car. It's not a castle doctrine like some states. Damn now I have to find my statue book again

939.48 Self -defense and defense of others.

939.48(1)
(1) A person is privileged to threaten or intentionally use force against another for the purpose of preventing or terminating what the person reasonably believes to be an unlawful interference with his or her person by such other person. The actor may intentionally use only such force or threat thereof as the actor reasonably believes is necessary to prevent or terminate the interference. The actor may not intentionally use force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm unless the actor reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself.

There are other sub talking about provoking people in 939.48 also.
