Frank, The statute number is what I am having a hard time finding without a law library and a person to help me go through them...
And not all "forcible felony" crimes requires a person to be immediately at risk of death or GBH... Arson is one... It does not require the structure to be a dwelling nor occupied...
Here is what I find in a quickie search and think this is the statute to what we discuss but I could be wrong or missing some sub components...
