Some places in the USA do as well and try to punish the person defending themselves and/or others.


Yeah, IF they are trying to run away outside.
But thats why you pull the bodies back inside the house before the cops arrive. When they ask why are they piled up on the tile floor in the kitchen you tell the cops you didn't want their God damn blood staining your carpet.

I had a cop tell that to a friend of mine. Drag them back inside, and then back outside. You shot them in the house and the piece of shit tried crawling out the door. Fucked up.

The only time a case even came close to this in California was when a dude chased a home invader outside of his house the guy was running away and he shot him in the back in the middle of the street as he was running away
To be fair, I'd be afraid the home invader would try again as revenge for chasing him out of my home. Besides, is it really that awful that there's one less piece of shit in the world?

You're discussing a hypothetical example brought up in Congress over a legal controversy known as Tort reform. The incident in question, which has appeared in pop culture again and again including huge movies like Liar, Liar never actually happened. It was a hypothetical example of something that MIGHT happen except there are many legal defenses a homeowner could use to avoid liability in such an event.
Oh? Seeing this did make me curious about some of the actual cases that have went through California. Turns out in general most claims are limited to causing willful or wonton injury.

California does make exceptions though for children and for artificial concealed dangers. An example being a successful suit on behalf of children who were pulled into an underwater drain in a canal. There the court held that while the basic seen structure of the canal wouldn't create liability, the unseen open siphon drain itself is an exception.

But there were also upheld cases where children simply drowned in backyard swimming pools and the property owners were held liable. California insists that pools be kept behind tall fences with locked gates.

So, yeah, generally speaking, turns out adults are 'on their own' for injuries unless they can prove it was something intentional, such as marijuana farmers in Humboldt County putting razorwire near their plants. That's considered a "trap" and as a willful act makes the land owners liable.

Personally I just lock my doors. That seems to work.

Yeah cause that stops those who really want in. It just deters those who wanted it to be as easy as possible.

When I was a kid someone threw rocks through our French doors and came in that way

Which is why I don't have doors that are mostly there to look pretty, but ones that are there to actually keep people out.

You don't always have much choice. But even then windows exist. If they are willing to break a glass door to get in they are probably willing to break a window
