Just a fantasy in NJ,    We would be lucky if the communist governor and legislature in this oblast don't enact a law that creates a "criminal" bill of rights.    I think we all know where this is going so don't put too much behind it.

How can one be “pardoned from prosecution”?  To be pardoned you must have already been prosecuted

They're just about there with the State paying 2.1M for legal aid help to the illegals.

Yep,  I'm sure those ( mine and yours) tax dollars will be used to defend one of these global pilgrims from Rooney's home defense bill .

Perhaps some were. But I’d like to see exception from civil suits as well. I don’t care if Tyrone’s Mom felt he had a future.

We have something similar in South Carolina, the "Protection of Persons and Property Act":

Quote

The stated intent of the legislation is to codify the common law castle doctrine, which recognizes that a person’s home is his castle, and to extend the doctrine to include an occupied vehicle and the person’s place of business. This bill authorizes the lawful use of deadly force under certain circumstances against an intruder or attacker in a person’s dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle. The bill provides that there is no duty to retreat if (1) the person is in a place where he has a right to be, including the person’s place of business, (2) the person is not engaged in an unlawful activity, and (3) the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent death, great bodily injury, or the commission of a violent crime. A person who lawfully uses deadly force is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action, unless the person against whom deadly force was used is a law enforcement officer acting in the performance of his official duties and he identifies himself in accordance with applicable law or the person using deadly force knows or reasonably should have known the person is a law enforcement officer.
