Make My Day Law !!
Missouri passed a law last year after Conceal Carry called The Castle Doctrine Law, some call it "Make My Day Law" famous quote from Dirty Harry, "Go Ahead Punk, Make My Day"...
Remember a few months ago the guy in Texas, called the police and then went outside and shot two burglars carrying items from his neighbors house?
In Texas last month, a man spotted two burglars carrying items from his neighbor’s house. After calling police, he grabbed his shotgun and killed the burglars.
A debate still rages over whether that was legal under the state’s new “castle doctrine” law, which allows lethal force to defend one’s home.
A similar Missouri law enacted this year appears to allow killings like those, according to judges and lawyers. Advocates praise it as allowing innocent people to defend themselves against criminals. Opponents fear it could cause unnecessary deaths, such as killings of petty thieves.
Last year Missouri lawmakers passed legislation allowing property owners to protect their homes and families from intruders. The so-called “Castle Doctrine” is a well-established legal concept that’s being adopted in a growing number of states.
Under the
old state law, if someone unlawfully enters your home / premises* or attempts a car-jacking, you are required to first retreat instead of immediately fighting to protect yourself. The burden is on the home owner to establish that an intruder means to do them bodily harm
before they can use appropriate force against them. Does this make any sense? If someone crashes through your front door, he’s probably not there for a picnic!
The version of the “Castle Doctrine” approved by the Missouri lawmakers makes three major changes to Missouri's current law. First, it creates the presumption that criminals who unlawfully enter and remain in your home
intend to do harm to you and your family. Second, the legislation
removes the requirement that property owners retreat from their home, or car when someone has entered unlawfully. Finally, the bill states that a person who uses justified force against an invader is
immune from criminal prosecution or civil action
By passing the Castle Doctrine, the Missouri lawmakers said “
enough is enough” by allowing the immediate use of force to protect yourself in response to forced entry to your home or car.
One of the main purposes of government is to protect the rights of property and to preserve life and liberty. The legislation passed last year returns to the citizens their right to protect themselves. These rights were eroded through a series of bad court decisions. Your home is your castle, and you have a right to be safe inside its walls.
This bill will protect those who legally exercise self-defense with force or deadly force from a future civil law suit and it also expands the number of places that one can legally use force or deadly force, much like in one's own home (or castle).
*"Premises", includes any building, inhabitable structure and any real property
Not sure I would shoot somone over wood, but pretty sure I would approach with Glock in hand, prepared to defend my property.
and your going to go down(prolly wouldn't be my fist that hit you either). But come on my landlords property and steal his firewood, take all you want. 
Not worth the risk to try and stop you. Plus I can't think of a landlord I actually liked. Kind of remind me of lawyers. :greenchainsaw:
