(1) The person against whom the force or violence was used was in the
process of unlawfully and forcibly entering or had unlawfully and forcibly entered the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.
(2) The person who used force or violence knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry was occurring or had occurred.
Justifiable homicid. A homicide is justifiable:
When committed by a person lawfully inside a dwelling, a place of business, or a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32:1(40), against a person who is attempting to make an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, or who has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, and the person committing the homicide reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder toleave the premises or motor vehicle.
Doesn't say a darn thing about checking with the intruder to see if they have a weapon.
END OF STORY.. He shoots, he scores
And for the second time in this thread. I have attached this document, that says just this.

The mere presence of a unarmed individual in your home does not constitute a
REASONABLE BELIEF that your safety is in danger. Such as when you tell someone to freeze at gunpoint, under your own carport, and they continue advancing upon you. No weapon, no threat, no advancement upon you or any member of your family, no
REASONABLE BELIEF that deadly force is necessary in order to resolve the situation.
Get used to it or shoot one of your kids friends in the back and learn the hard way. No skin off my nose.
