Yes unfortunetly your correct. Personally I think the castle law B.S. in NY is rediculous. Should I be able to shoot somebody for breaking into my truck in the driveway no, but if the person breaks into the house in the middle of the night then I would be willing to bet they would do me and my wife harm so I’ll shoot them first and worry about the rest later. Either which way the point is moot our GSD Jack is already 90 pounds at just under 7 months so I don’t think anybody could break in here and remain in one piece very long.
