The way I've been reading this thread, it seems that some members are posting that they would shoot just about anybody who was in their house without permission.
Is life that cheap?
How about getting an alarm service that is monitored?
It would be a lot cheaper paying ADT $27.95 a month than it would be coughing up obscene sums of $$$ to fight the inevitable lawsuits and probable charges that are going to be brought against you - which you are not guaranteed to win.
If Vic's parents had an alarm on their house, then the break-in might never have occured. If you have an alarm turned on then you may not wake up at night to find that naked intruder standing over your sleeping wife.
I'm not saying that an alarm is a panacea for security and well-being, but it is a "layer of defense" that must definitely be considered - and if a side-effect of having an alarm means that you no longer feel the need to kill someone, then I believe that it is money well spent.
Cheap insurance if you ask me.
