Will do when I get the chance to do a little research on the computer, not gonna waste time trying to do it on my iPhone.

So you are saying that in Louisiana, that you have to warn someone who forcibly entered your house before you shoot them??? I will bet you $100 that you are wrong


I never said that this applies in every home invasion.

What happens when you blast a 13 year old boy playing "capture the flag" because he accidentally stumbles into your back porch and tries to get into your house thinking it is his friends.

There are presumptions in civil law (and arguably criminal), in Louisiana, to protect homeowners in these instances. However, they are only mere presumptions and not conclusionary.




you were wrong in your original statement as it applies to Louisiana..... You said LA has to warn...


don't try to spin away from your WRONG original comment now..

BTW.. there is a fairly recent case in LA very similar to the one you just referenced.. Homeowner was in the right for shooting...

My apologies for writing it as a blanket statement, I was responding to a situation presented by previous posters. The comment was written in context to what they stated and NOT intended as a firm rule of law applicable in every situation.

IMPORTANT NOTE : this is NOT legal advice telling you what you should do in the event of a home invasion. Do as you feel necessary to protect yourself and loved ones based on the circumstances presented.

Doesn't this kinda prove the point? The case went to trial because they didn't warn the intruder, thus, could be civily/criminally negligent? A different judge/jury may reach a different decision.

What case are you referring to?
