SB 13 - Under current law, a person may use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that such deadly force is necessary to protect himself, herself, or others against death or serious physical injury. Additionally, a person may use deadly force against a person who unlawfully enters, remains after entering, or attempts to unlawfully enter a dwelling, residence, vehicle, or private property lawfully occupied by such person. This act clarifies that a "dwelling" includes the curtilage, or the land immediately surrounding a house, residence, or dwelling.
