Washington attorney, Northcut the that Ely, says provision goes beyond most state well-know- n laws. How do you know whether some person prowling around in your house at night is going to harm your family?" he asks. Do you interview him? Do you first ask him whether he is going to rob you or kidnap you before you shoot him?
