You people make me laugh. If someone breaks into your house, unarmed, and you shoot them... You stand a chance of being sent to jail, or paying out the ass in civil court.
You see, self defense laws are cloudy at best. It is often not considered self defense if you use greater force than the person from whom you are defending yourself. In other words, if you have a gun, and the person assaulting you does not, you should think twice before shooting. It might just come back to bite you in the ass. Ever hear of Bernie Geotz(sp?)?
