I'm pretty sure WI is not a "castle doctrine" state, where you have pretty much carte blance to use lethal force on an intruder in your home. If they're willing to violate the sanctity of another's home, it's presumed they're willing to harm it's occupants. I also don't believe we have any of the nice "make my day laws" in response to carjackings etc.
However, it came up in another thread that we are a "duty to retreat" state that if in your home, and confronted with an invader, if you can retreat, you must. If you use lethal force with an open avenue for escape the victim could be charged.
If that's true, it's disgusting, and needs to be addressed as much as our current lack of CCW does.
So are we or aren't we a "Retreat State"?
