Lack of Castle Doctrine
bullit:
ORE45 ... by your number of low postings, I will assume you are new to our forum ... Welcome. IMHO ... may I STRONGLY recommend you obtain and READ a copy of "In the Name of Self Defense" by Marc MacYoung. In fact, I would encourage ALL gun owners who care about "self-defense" to do so.
Husker_Fan:
Anytime you have one person dead and another clearly being the one who caused the death, the police will have probable cause to believe it or was criminal and will likely arrest the shooter.
It may not sound fair but there has to be a way to determine if it was self defense. Another reason it is done is to remove the shooter from the situation and avoid immediate altercations with the deceased friends or family.

This was my initial point of view concerning the need for Nebraska Castle Doctrine-Stand Your Ground legislation, plus, providing some protection from the possible civil litigation following the criminal outcome.
Husker_Fan:
Having a stand your ground law won't change that. Whether or not the law applies still has to be determined by investigation.
The police won't simply take the shooters word for it at the scene.

This will be a controversial point, yet, IMHO non-deciding point in this event. However, the porch would be considered part of your "castle" if Nebraska had a Castle Doctrine.
