Could It Be That Self-Defense Is Legal in Connecticut?

I would be quite shocked if that was the case. Darien homeowner fires shots at people who illegally entered his home: Police

"Illegally entered?" Aren't they "undocumented visitors?" Why can't you just call them home invaders?

Police later said the people involved were able to get into the house after finding a key hidden outside. When they entered, they were confronted by the homeowner. Another family member called 911 when they saw the suspects on the front porch.

Don't hide keys. And if you feel the need to, then don't put one under a mat, or under a pot near the front door.

One of the home invaders was armed, and so the homeowner shot in their direction. He may have done more than that.

"During our initial investigation, Darien Police Detectives determined that a male juvenile potentially matching the description of one of the suspects arrived at the Bridgeport Hospital suffering from a gunshot wound and was rushed to surgery," Darien police said in a Facebook post.

Darien, Connecticut is about 15 miles southwest of Bridgeport, and about 10 miles northeast of the New York State line.

The guy who got shot is in stable condition.

No talk of any charges, but it appears that police did not arrest the homeowner.

The investigation has a long way to go, and I have no idea what the DA for that area of Connecticut is like self-defense in general, let alone when it comes to issues of self defense.

Self-defense remains a human right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0.

  1. Here in Connecticut the AG will certainly find 20-30 charges for the homeowner including a couple of noise complaints, disturbing the peace and civil rights violations. The wounded clown will get free medical care, a section eight apartment, an Obozo phone and an EBT card worth $8-$10 grand.
