Castle Doctrine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org...
A Castle Doctrine (also known as a Castle Law or a Defense of Habitation Law) is an American legal concept derived from English Common Law, which designates one's place of residence (or, in some states, any place legally occupied, such as one's car or place of work) as a place in which one enjoys protection from illegal trespassing and violent attack. It then goes on to give a person the legal right to use deadly force to defend that place (his/her "castle"), and/or any other innocent persons legally inside it, from violent attack or an intrusion which may lead to violent attack. Within the legal paradigm, therefore, it functions as a type of justifiable homicide.
Castle Doctrines are legislated by state, and not all states in the US have a Castle Doctrine.

This does sound like a good idea, However when you do so, I would recomend that you do so in a professional, polite manner. Beleave me, i think it would make your victory that much sweeter, when all she can do is look at you and say "oh, well, I didn't know that". If you go at her acting like a punk, all that will go away, and she will get the satisfaction of getting you in trouble for being rude and defiant or what have you.
just my 2 cents
