Fortunately, state law and caselaw in my state plainly establishes: it is reasonable for the home occupant to assume that a violent home invader who has a weapon in-hand has ill intent–and the home occupant is therefore legally justified to use any force necessary to protect innocent life.

Disclaimer: the above is my personal opinion and NOT legal advice. Consult competent legal council in your jurisdiction to clarify your jurisdiction’s self-defense laws.
