The original poster is from Texas - and they highly encourage you to shoot people who break in to your home (or look at you funny for that matter)
BTW - in Ohio you can use lethal force against someone armed with a firearm or edged weapon (or if they make furtive or threatening movement which could be construed as moving for a concealed weapon) if you meet the rest of the burden for self defense
-not have provoked the conflict or escalated it (threaten, name call, lets take it outside, take a swing etc
- be in reasonable fear for your life or the life of others
- meet the duty to retreat - you must run away if you can (in Ohio you have no duty to retreat in your own home but if he is on your lawn you should retreat to the house)
Best to know the laws in your own state.
