Not in connecticut. If someone enters your home, and you shoot them (not to kill or to kill) you’re fucked more than the person who entered your home. Even if they’re stabbing your daughter right in front of you, they want you to call the cops and wait. Sure, even if you shoot that person in the kneecap, to get them off your daughter or other family members they’ve already maimed. So yeah, stand your ground / castle doctrine doesn’t apply in connecticut, hell, if you wanna drive you and your registered registered, legal, guns on a trip to your other home in vermont, don’t drive through Massachusetts, take the long way through upstate NY.
