In PA, a 72 year old man was charged with killing an intruder. The intruder was a 52 year old, unarmed man, who kicked in the victim’s trailer door, when he was promptly shot to death. Now, they didn’t charge the shooter because the deceased was unarmed. The 72 year old shooter was denied the Castle Doctrine defense, because he had marijuana in his trailer. Based on illegal activity taking place inside the trailer, the DA denied the defense.

Moral of the story - make sure your teen doesn’t have a bag of weed under their bed! Once you fire a shot, the police could search the entire house, gun safes, etc. Have an illegal fireworks laying around? Are all your mattress tags in place? Heck, can an improper tax return (cheating on your taxes), be considered “illegal activity”???
