[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 720635, member: 265"] Yes. And, btw, getting rid of the whole idea of citizen's arrest would be a real good idea. Now, as to the rest … It seems to me that the precondition for the use of force in the statute rises or falls on the "unlawfully and forcibly entered" part. But that wasn't in the original hypothetical. There a homeowner comes home and finds someone in the house. That could happen for a variety of reasons and isn't necessarily preconditioned on "unlawfully and forcibly …" entering. The person might be drunk, they might be trying to find an address and entered by mistake, they could have come through to see if there had been a break-in after seeing a door left opened … there are a lot of situations where the statute wouldn't protect you if you used deadly force to remove someone you came home to find in your house. That's why it's always a good idea to call the cops. Now, if you are watching tv and hear your back door being forced open, it's another story. But, imho, it's still a good idea to call the cops at once, no matter what. But, like I say, I'll have to ask the son. [/QUOTE]
