We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I am unaware of any "Castle Law" statute - the general assembly rejected one last year.
However, according to a GWU law professor at the recent Second Amendment Symposium at GMU, only 2 states have a duty to retreat inside one's home, and VA is not one of them.

Yeah, I kind of figured that. But my answer is still the same. If I am attacked with deadly force or bodily injury, I plan on returning the favor. I will have to let the lawyers clean up the mess. Most of the cases here in Virginia favor your right to defend yourself, but you never know.heh... I meant from legal reprecussions.
