Quoting Charles L. Cotton from that thread (
Direct Link) on Sat Dec 26, 2009:
Charles L. Cotton wrote:There was a lot of misunderstanding about the civil liability protection afforded by the "Castle Doctrine" bill when it passed. Many people thought it prevents someone from being sued, but it does not. No law can be written denying people access to the courts; it would be unconstitutional. The "Castle Doctrine" grants immunity from civil liability, not immunity from suit. You can still be sued, but you will win and probably win early in the case.
Chas.
The red part I think is the definitive answer.
