I remember years ago learning that "Because he needed killing" was a law on the books in Texas. I just thought to myself, Way to go TX.

I heard an interesting quote from the infamous Robert Durst trial in Galveston Texas: “We kill horse thrieves, but we let Murderers go. We have horses to steal.” Always wondered about that comment! In NC there is still a law, in the books, which states it is legal to beat your wife in front of the courthouse after 1100 on Sunday with a stick no bigger than the diameter of your thumb. Another law states it is illegal to tie your horse up in front of the Courthouse. SFC Ralph E Kelley

They've screwed up by not using the correct definition of Homicide which is "the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another". So I have concluded that they're idiots.

There is a guy in my subdivision that is always on the Internet insisting that he will apply stand your ground laws if anyone breaks into his home or attacks him on his property. I always scratch my head on that because we are on city sized lots and once you fire a bullet it travels indiscriminantly well beyond the target in most cases.

Not that I think he's right to broadcast that noise so anyone can read it.
Is the concern because anyone never in the military don't know how to aim?

I think it’s because bullets travel through bodies and objects and innocent people and children are victims.SFC Ralph E Kelley

SPC Nancy Greene - You may be correct but the post above says "if anyone breaks into his home or attacks him on his property."
If it happens at Erich's or your home, I bet those considerations would not have the same weight as they do in this internet conversation.
I that is a major concern (which I myself have considered) I keep two M1911s at my home with rubber bullets in the first 3 places in their magazines.
I have been shot with a 45 caliber rubber bullet in a tactical exercise that hit me in the back shoulder. It tumbled me down even when I was wearing body armor.
That's an option for you with a smaller caliber. Maybe even purchasing bean-bag rounds for a shotgun-style weapon.
