This is why store owners have a right to defend their property in Idaho.
Via the Spokesman-Review:
Idaho lawmakers passed a “stand your ground” law on Tuesday that supporters said will simply write into law provisions that have existed in Idaho case law and jury instructions for a century, though opponents questioned that.
“This is so you can protect yourself, others, your property, your business, your occupied vehicle,” said Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale,the measure’s House sponsor. “If you are threatened by someone, this clarifies that your home and the area around your home is also your castle and you can protect it.” In addition, she said, if someone shoots someone else in that situation, “They are presumed innocent. It does not allow second-guessing, hindsight by someone who was not there.”
The bill passed on a 57-12 vote, with all 11 House Democrats opposing it, along with one Republican, Rep. Mike Kingsley, R-Lewiston.
The measure stresses that people have no duty to retreat when they’re exercising self-defense or the defense of others.
