[QUOTE="Bill Mac, post: 1822653"] I would be interested to see what their eventual future research points out as to whether the homicides were in actual self defense and in whether the perps or victims of the homicides had prior criminal records. We all know from the recent loud music shooting fiasco that there are idiots who just use the Castle Doctrine to further their supposed justifiable use of deadly force. There will always be those types. The Trayvon Martin shooting while tragic is also someone doing something that he shouldn't have been doing while armed. I doubt that Zimmerman would have followed Martin if he had not been armed and would have waited for police or at least followed Martin without engaging him to see what he was up to. I did not read this study, but having an increase in deaths where people are allowed to protect themselves without retreating when someone attacks or threatens is an obvious result of a lessened fear of prosecution.
