Mom (18) shoots intruder to protect son (3mo.)

Last night I was at a Bible study meeting when this story came up. The majority present believed Nebraska had a Castle Doctrine bill to protect victims of break-ins. They were surprised to learn Nebraska does not.

Exactly, folks just 'assume' we have protection because it would fall into Common Sense. Thank You, metaldoc, for not being idle and informing the folks. It's especially good to see such conversations of self defense can be had in an enviroment such as Bible study.
As I said, we need to utilize these unfortunate events to inform those around us, of the boundaries that current legislation places upon the Law Abiding Victim!!
I truly feel for the young lady for what she HAD TO DO! Yet am glad she did what she had to do to protect her and her baby. ...and to have the frame of mind to give her baby the bottle to quite him in all the chaos! ...and to call 911 and inform them of what was going on. This gal sure has a good head on her shoulders and obviously a good upbringing.

Good for her, and good for the guy in Texas protecting his neighbor's home, too.

Unless I am mistaken, the article I read stated she was on the phone with 911 dispatcher for 21 minutes... good for her for protecting herself and her child.

Just goes to prove cops are there to catch the law breakers, not to protect us from them. I'm not saying they wouldn't prefer it the other way, but it just doesn't work out that way. I'm never more than a few seconds from one of my guns. Can't say the same for a cop (unless I happen to exceed the speed limit).
