However if one is involved in an illegal activity the right to use Self Defense might come into question.
This somewhat like two competing bank robbers showing up at the same time. One shoots the other. Can he then claim Self Defense?
Hopefully this thread won't deteriorate into a "Pot should be legal" fur-ball.
Being a willing participant in fight with another, with nothing else weighing in would likely remove the issue of self defense.
The issue of being involved in an illegal activity and someone coming to commit a crime upon you would have two actions of cause I believe, one being the criminal activity one was involved in and the other being Self Defense.
Even though these are two different actions it could be said that one brought the other to bear and if faced with a jury of your peers, well I would not want to be in that seat, would you?
I would neither glamorize the home owners actions.
