I live in MA. My understanding is that in this state, you pretty much have to be shot at with no way of escaping your home (or the particular situation) in order to be seen as justified for shooting someone in self defense. I hope someone with more knowledge with this chimes in to correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, I'd rather there be a dead burglar/mugger and me going to prison than any of my loved ones killed or injured.
I hope to enjoy a few beers or a few casts with you some time.
