I am 100% positive. The Castle Doctorine is relatively new and may not have been in place when these cases were brought to court. We went over it briefly in our CCDW class. The castle doctorine actually applies to all building on your property, even barns and outbuildings. Deadly force may be used in any of these situations to stop a felony in progress in the state of KY. Would I shoot some one with my DVD player in their hand? Hell no, even if legally I could! If he dropped it and even looked like he was reaching for his waist band....with out even hesitating. The first step is ALWAYS to properly ID a potential threat before bullets start flying, that is why a nice torch should always be part of your home defense set up.

In a situation such as a major natural disaster, honestly it would probably be shoot first and ask questions later. However, the chances of any us being in that situation are so small compared to the chances of a home invasion.
