It really isn't much different than Police in regards where they escalate to deadly force only when necessary and then immediately de-escalate as the threat to them decreases like if a suspect has been shot and is laying on the ground and isn't using a weapon any longer. I volunteered with our sheriff's department and we had use of force training like when to use OC spray, taser, firearms, etc. If someone is just yelling at you and doesn't present a deadly threat, you can't just shoot them. You start with verbal commands first and if they escalate, we can escalate to spray or taser for example. And only if we fear for our life can we use a firearm or other deadly force.
So basically, you can defend human life but not property. And any view of going on the offensive and chasing a threat to use deadly force would likely be considered murder. This seems fair to me and every state should have the same. Stand your ground laws give gun nuts the excuse to blast anyone for any reason. Even teens doing dumb, harmless pranks could end up dead for no reason other than the homeowner is a gun nut protecting their property with stand your ground protections. Look at the 3-4 incidents of young people ending up in the wrong driveway or ringing the doorbell at a wrong home getting shot and injured or killed. There was a few cases like 2 months ago. The people doing the shooting were gun nuts who have been brainwashed by news into being scared of everything. It's very sad to see happen. I can't imagine a world where I would shoot someone for pulling into my driveway or ringing my doorbell at night.
