Re: Jail time for home defense - myth?
Joining Gosa is not a solution for the OP's question. Joining the insurance that Gosa sells is obviously a better one. Comes at a different price tag though.

The cost involved in this is the catch.
Like the Americans say- rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.
You will know when your life is in real danger.

Re: Jail time for home defense - myth?
Does the attacker need to show that he is armed/ sufficiently armed for you to believe that your life is in immediate danger?
Suppose its someone that starts a squabble with you and then it turns ugly, but you expect serious harm or death due to their attack?

Re: Jail time for home defense - myth?
We were burgled a couple of weeks ago. The burglars entered my bedroom and stole my cellphone and laptop while I was sleeping (perhaps drugged). I had my gun next to me and didn't hear a thing. If I would have woken and found strangers in my trip I would most probably have shot them. My feeling is that burglars in my bedroom implies mortal danger. Thank God I wasn't put to the test. Would a "reasonable man" shoot an intruder in his bedroom I believe is the relevant question.
