Before any of you decide to shoot someone I would suggest you go to the library and read the laws in your state pertaining to deadly force and it's definitions. In some states just because someone breaks into your house does not give you the right to shoot and take their life. In most states deadly force is described as any force which is intended to cause death or serious injury. Serious injury would mean any force which might cause permanent disfiguration or and injury which would leave a person permanently crippled.
So when someone confronts you they must be threatening you with deadly force before you can use deadly force against them. Now some of you won't agree with that. Not my deal it's what the courts say. If you shoot and kill someone unjustly than you will be facing one of several things. One a prison sentence, civil action by family members in the civil courts. If they lose there then they can take to to a civil action in the federal courts. This means years and years of depositions where you have to answer questions about every personal thing in your life from the time your are a child. After about six or seven years of that you will probably regret the fact you didn't stop and think first.
