Wiki: Quote: A Castle Doctrine (also known as a Castle Law or a Defense of Habitation Law) is an American legal concept derived from English Common Law, which designates one's place of residence (or, in some states, any place legally occupied, such as one's car or place of work) as a place in which one enjoys protection from illegal trespassing and violent attack. It then goes on to give a person the legal right to use deadly force to defend that place (his/her "castle"), and/or any other innocent persons legally inside it, from violent attack or an intrusion which may lead to violent attack. In a legal context, therefore, use of deadly force which actually results in death may be defended as justifiable homicide under the Castle Doctrine. Castle Doctrines are legislated by state, and not all states in the US have a Castle Doctrine. The term "Make My Day Law" comes from the landmark 1985 Colorado statute that protects people from any criminal charge or civil suit if they use force - including deadly force - against an invader of the home.[1] The law's nickname is a reference to the famous line uttered by Clint Eastwood's character Dirty Harry in the 1983 film Sudden Impact, "Go ahead, make my day." This legal doctrine is often linked to the rights of homeowners to bear arms, as defined in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.
Kalifornia does not have any from of a Castle Doctrine. So, this, unfourtunatly, does not apply towards you.

Freak_090 Fresnel I've heard that in Texas it's legal to shoot someone for trespassing on private property after dark, even if they're not inside your house. Anyone know if that's true? Only if they are trying to commit a crime against you. ( The Law) Requiem: D.C. makes Kali look like the wild-west. Washington state isn't so bad. Define "against you". Does that mean I could have shot the b***h I caught breaking into our shed?

If it's as simple as he worded it a crime could simply be damaging your property. In your case, breaking into your shed.
"unlawfully entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully, the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;"
Hmm, your shed may not be covered. That is unless you sleep in it or run a '******** it. Just claim your whole property as your home.

In that case he was looking over someone else's castle. Which I believe is allowed in that Doctrine, which is pretty friggin awesome.

I don't even want to VISIT D.C., let alone live there.
