"Do you know the law in your jurisdiction?"
Yes.
In Virginia, it's very simple.
We have no Make My Day Law, we have no Castle Law.
However, in similar situations that have occurred over the years, most prosecutors seem to fall back on the customary tenets of English Common Law which treats a man's home as his castle and allows him to defend it as such.
Of course there have been some examples where prosecutors decide to throw their weight around. Those always make the news then fade away.
