When they kick down your door, how you gonna come?

With you hands on your head, or on 175 lbs of tannerine and wood screws?

Does a booby-trap that only responds to lethal force technically pass the Katko test?

What is the katko test… I’m afraid to look it up? 14 watch lists is plenty

A famous legal case defining what is and isn’t allowed for defense of property, specifically about lethal booby traps to stop trespassing. It basically says that you can’t use lethal force to defend property using booby traps as they are indiscriminate and therefore cannot determine if certain criteria (i.e. reasonable fear for your life) are met.
