i did see where one owner had put "owner is black" on one side of his building and it wasn't touched. on the other side, he didn't and it was destroyed. i'm referring to the entrance doors and windows. you might be right.

You're confusing self defense with stand your ground.

First off MN is a Duty to Retreat state, so a self defense argument is not the best route

Using lethal force in MN is not allowed to protect property, just like it's not allowed in Louisiana.

Shooting someone for throwing bricks at your business and setting it on fire is not self defense. As much as I disagree with it their fricked up laws, its the law

Only time you can use lethal force in MN to defend property is when it's in your house and you're preventing a felony.

Breaking and entering is not a felony

Arson isn't a felony in the state of MN?

I don’t think I could be paid enough money to live in an urban setting these days. It’s a giant powder keg.

Are they burning your home or business? The law clearly states "place of abode."

If it's your business then your fricked, if it's your house then by all means go Doc Holliday on their arse

Notice the abundance of the word “or.” You’re only saying one part of this.

Yeah so if someone is lighting your business on fire and you are in the proximity, seems reasonable to assume you are in danger of bodily harm and can open fire after reading that.

That’s what I would assume. Even more so if you’re in the business already and they come in.

And by your interpretation of the law, you'd be sitting right next to the MN store owner in jail. You can't kill someone just for breaking into your store in MN. You can fight them off but until they pull out a gun, you can't

The thing with their self defense laws is it has to be "reasonable force." So unless they're trying to physically set you on fire, fhe use of deadly force is not justifiable.

Plus prosecution always has the upper hand in pointing out that you had a duty to escape anf you decided not to.

And. That’s the key word. It must be both your house and preventing a felony
