    Home defense laws

    How do you look up state by state what your legal rights are in the situation where you are forced to kill a home intruder?
    Im looking for Alabama by the way.

    Thanks!
    Section 13A-3-25
    Use of force in defense of premises.
    (a) A person in lawful possession or control of premises, as defined in Section 13A-3-20, or a person who is licensed or privileged to be thereon, may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent that he reasonably believes it necessary to prevent or terminate what he reasonably believes to be the commission or attempted commission of a criminal trespass by the other person in or upon such premises.

    (b) A person may use deadly physical force under the circumstances set forth in subsection (a) of this section only:

    (1) In defense of a person, as provided in Section 13A-3-23; or

    (2) When he reasonably believes it necessary to prevent the commission of arson in the first or second degree by the trespasser.


    Whatever that means...

    Nah, mine is the house you want to deliver to. You're not going to get robbed outside my house. Not anymore at least. I need to get some NRA stickers and put them up at my house. Or, like a comedian said, "Just put the Confederate flag outside your window and they'll know you own at least two guns."

    Plissken, this IS Alabama we're talking about. "He needed killin'" is in fact a valid legal defense here...
