Is it legal to set up a 'honeypot' house in a 'Castle Doctrine'-self defense state and shoot robbers?
Find answers to your legal question.





Is it legal to set up a 'honeypot' house in a 'Castle Doctrine'-self defense state and shoot robbers?

Let's say I rent a house in an extremely crappy neighborhood in a state with a strong Castle Doctrine self-defense law, and a history of enforcement generous to the homeowner.

Then I set up the inside of the house as a maze, so that someone who breaks down the door or breaks through the window will be funneled into a narrow corridor - a shooting gallery, really, with only one way out.

I would make it seem as though the house had expensive stuff inside of it.

Would this be legal, as long as I abided by the Castle Doctrine (e.g., only shooting after the suspects were completely inside of the house)?

No, that is considered baiting. Although it may be fun to think about in your head, please keep it there. I am all for justice against criminals, and your idea IS entertaining, it is still illegal.

No, it would be murder. And an easy case for a prosecutor to win since you went through the trouble of setting up a shooting gallery.

premeditated,,yes you set a trap,which means you thought about and planned it,different from if you were asleep and someone broke in and you shot them

In most places this would likely see you charged and sued in civil court.
