Those laws basically say it's OK to shoot someone if you feel threatened. You can practically get away with murdering someone for looking at you the wrong way.

That's not at all what they say. They "basically" say that you don't have a duty to run away from someone who is actively attacking you.

Fine, maybe I misinterpreted why people think it's OK to shoot at people for knocking on their door or pulling into the wrong driveway. I still don't want to go to places where people are likely to do that.
