Not sure where you're coming from, but where I'm at it's legal to shoot
first and ask questions later when an unidentified person is in your home.
Granted, there have been a couple of unfortunate "mistakes" where a family
member has been taken out by another person living in the residence. Or the
cops having the wrong address on their search warrant. In general, I'm glad
to have that law in place. I would like to have the opportunity waste the
scumbag who has the balls to sneak into my residence and take property (or
worse) which I spent my hard-earned money on. The only thing you have to be
sure of is finishing the job, otherwise you could find yourself in a big
lawsuit and paying money to the bonehead who was robbing you in the first place.
