    Here's the castle doctrine rules:

    [h=2]HideConditions of use[/h]Each state differs in the way it incorporates the castle doctrine into its laws, what premises are covered (abode only, or other places too), what degree of retreat or non-deadly resistance is required before deadly force can be used, etc.
    Typical conditions that apply to some Castle Doctrine laws include[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]:

    • An intruder must be making (or have made) an attempt to unlawfully or forcibly enter an occupied residence, business or vehicle.
    • The intruder must be acting illegally—for example, the Castle Doctrine does not give the right to use force against officers of the law acting in the course of their legal duties.
    • The occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe the intruder intends to inflict serious bodily harm or death upon an occupant of the home.
    • Additionally, some states apply the Castle Doctrine if the occupant(s) of the home reasonably believe the intruder intends to commit a lesser felony such as arson or burglary.
    • The occupant(s) of the home must not have provoked or instigated an intrusion, or provoked or instigated an intruder to threaten or use deadly force.
    In all cases, the occupant(s) of the home must be there legally, must not be fugitives from the law or aiding or abetting another person in being a fugitive from the law, and must not use force upon an officer of the law performing a legal duty[SUP][citation needed][/SUP].

    If he fought him in the sleeper he is going to have to log that. If the fight lasted less the seven minutes outside the truck he only needs to flag it.

    "Criminals thrive on society's understanding"

    The day that prisons became country clubs, and honest citizens began to be punished for taking care of themselves the judicial system became a legal system, and as a result worthless as tits on a boar hog.
