(clipping lengthy legal text - see previous message if you need to)
No, you needn't say more: it's reassuring that I got it right. You can't
shoot someone for stealing a crust of bread. There has to be the reasonable
belief that the person is going to do something extremely dangerous
(physical assault, arson, kidnap, murder. etc.). Someone being in your
house uninvited is NOT open season to shoot first and ask questions later.
It's pretty darn clear about it.
