Michael Dunn, Florida Man, Invokes 'Stand Your Ground' Law After Shooting Black Teen

91. That is Castle Doctrine, not SYG.

Yes, you can "lie in wait" for the burglar. That is the anti-self-defense crowd's term for "retreating to a safe room and covering the door". Most home defense experts advise against searching for the burglar and confronting him, but instead advise retreating to a safe room and training the gun on the door while you call 911. If the burglar enters the safe room, then you shoot, otherwise you leave him alone. But when someone actually does retreat to a safe room, it suddenly gets called, "lying in wait".

In this case the resident did many evil things. Even states without CD would allow the shots as they come down the stairs as they are now entering his safe room from which he can't retreat. But CD doesn't cover the rest of the stuff he did. The finishing shots would be murder.
