Castle Doctrine

Wisconsin? Maybe. This was just introduced in the legislature:

Assembly Bill 69

AB69 Text

AB69 Amendments

Looks like a reasonable law - if you believe you or others are in danger from a criminal, you can use deadly force and the courts must presume you acted to prevent the crime.

Of course, if you shoot someone in self-defense, and then reload to finish them off, you could be charged with murder - so only use the minimum force needed to neutralize the threat.

That is "green", anyway - you're not wasting ammo...
