They can cause you to do things that end in you getting shot. Deputies: Homeowner shoots, kills suspect during home invasion
Initial calls indicated a man who appeared to be under the influence was banging on the window of an apartment attached to the house. He then broke into the apartment and assaulted the tenant, according to Lt. Austin Aamodt with the Muskegon County Sheriff’s Department.
After that, he tried to break into the main part of the home. The homeowner shot him.
Michigan’s Castle Doctrine law states a person can use deadly force if someone “is in the process of breaking and entering a dwelling or business premises or committing home invasion or has broken and entered a dwelling or business premises or committed home invasion and is still present in the dwelling or business premises, or is unlawfully attempting to remove another individual from a dwelling, business premises, or occupied vehicle against his or her will.”
Muskegon County, Michigan, is on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Egelston Township is about 20 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, or about 5 miles east of downtown Muskegon.
The investigation is just beginning, but the cops did not arrest anyone, and even assistant professors at the local university are talking about legal self-defense. I have no idea how the DA in that part of Michigan has acted in the past.
Self-defense is a human right, and Michigan has developed a fairly clear respect for the legal right, at least since they legalized concealed carry. I don't know how they were much before that.
