Answer 5

Bullshit.

If the person was breaking in, okay.  But an invited guest?  Wrong.  That's assault, plain and simple.

Answer 6

Assault is assault no matter where it took place, you can def get charged.  

Answer 7

The stepfather is full of c**p.  You can be arrested if you beat someone up no matter where you are.  The kid that got punched can also sue the homeowner.

h**l, there have been thousands of cases of people getting sued by burglars that broke into these people's house and fell and hurt themselves.  They then sue the homeowner and win most of the time......our justice system sucks, so might as well use it to your advantage.
