I was talking to a police friend the other day about a robbery that happened locally where the robber was shot and the home owner was charged for the shooting.
he told me that if somebody walked into my house uninvited and did not leave or was there stealing things that i couldnt shoot them.....he said that you have to be in a situation where the intruder is attacking you or armed in order to shoot them and not be charged with a crime by shooting them, something on the lines of being in fear for you safety,it has something to do with you shooting somebody who is unarmed (personally dont come in my home uninvited)........what he said made some sense but i just want to know what you think about the subject. If somebody broke into your house or entered into it do you think you should be able to use lethal force to remove them regardless of their intentions or methods? Or should you only be allowed to do so when you are in clear and present danger?
