Depends on the situation. There are more variables to consider. It is not easy to imagine a situation where the guy makes a 9-1-1 call when he is at home during a home invasion, but is not in any real danger.
I don't think the new law was necessary because people already had a right to defend themselves and I do not believe that there were any homeowners charged with crimes for use of force against an intruder of an occupied dwelling.
A duly enacted law is the law, and the law itself is not bad per se. But, it was an unnecessary change to the law that got a lot of publicity and such loud and unnecessary changes to the law were bound to trip up the Mr. "Crying like a b*tch at his lawyer's office because he did not mean to do it" Horn demographic and make them think they could hunt criminals.
