It's actually not a case of "lock and load" for me; I don't even like guns and won't have one in my house. I missed the word "simply" in Noise's post and was simply pointing out that the Castle Doctrine does allow the defense of one's property inside the house and the curtilage of the house. Curtilage means property surrounding the domicile and that usually includes the porch. I'm also tired of everyone assuming that the girl was just standing on the guy's porch at 4am and that he should have answered the door with a polite "Hello" and asked her what it was she wanted. People are assuming a lot of facts not in evidence yet.
