Gun-happy legislators unwittingly support protective orders

So Rumsfeld is busy worrying about the military performing civilian duties, meanwhile the state of Michigan is ceding the power of deadly force and civil immunity to folks like you & me.
The state House of Representatives is considering the creation of a new law allowing people to use deadly force to defend themselves in their homes and cars. The language has a bit of a Wild West flair: “… a law-abiding person who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be, has no duty to retreat, and can ‘stand his or her ground’ and meet force with force, including deadly force if necessary…”
Gun-hating liberal that I am, I see this as a blanket license to kill. It’s also unnecessary. The courts already, for good reason, give broad latitude to people defending themselves in their homes or vehicles.
But for domestic violence victims, who are not threatened by an “intruder,” the courts are less lenient. And as I read it, this legislation could prevent some domestic violence victims from going to prison for killing their abusers in self defense, if they have a protective order.
I’m definitely not suggesting that DV victims would be better off with guns in their homes. But now that the Supreme Court has more or less allowed police to ignore protective orders, the law could provide an incentive for victims to seek court orders against their abusers. A silver lining, if Michigan decides to pass what is ultimately bad legislation.
