I'm not sure where you're from, but in my state, we have "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand your Ground" laws.

That means if you are a home invader, I can legally shoot and kill you. There'll be an investigation, but both statutes are affirmative defenses to killing.

Its not that I want to, or look forward to it. I don't, and I hope I never have to. But I will, if I'm forced.

I am familiar with it. But even then it applies only “if a person is under an imminent threat of serious physical harm or danger by a guest (or an intruder) in their home, they do not have to attempt to safely escape the situation prior to using physical force; the homeowner may immediately use force to eliminate the threat in their home.”

For example shooting a 5 year old kid who trespassed on your property isnt covered
