The laws seem to change like underwear anymore, but back when you needed to take a class for a concealed weapon permit, so you can pack a weapon, there was actually some good info in those classes.
Such as, don't have a hot load in you home defense weapon. If you miss and it goes through the wall, a light load might not invade things outside your home.
And, although the sound of a Shotgun being loaded up is an unmistakeable sound, they are a little hard to turn around in a narrow hallway with.
Also, the word "Freeze" was taught before any action taken.
For me, the effect on my conscious for killing a 15 year old because he was trying to steal something that is replaceable is totally unacceptable. And when pulling a weapon, you do this with the intent to kill.
You are the only one that can determine the situation, but I agree, to shoot an intruder with the intention of just wounding and no personal threat, I think you are asking for a major law suit. And if that intruder dies, is it worth it for material objects?
I know several VETS that just can't get dead images out of their heads.
