From what I understand... They have basically lighten up on having to prove your life is being threatened and there was nothing else you could do like run... it is now considered that, for example if someone was breaking into your house, that they intend to do harm and you have a right to shoot... as before from what I understand, even if they were breaking in your house, you had to prove that they were going to harm you and not just rob you... I am sure there is more to it than this but this is my general understanding of the changes...
