I say yes in the sense that there should still be an investigation. If the police find no evidence to suggest that it WASN'T in self-defense, the killer should not be prosecuted.

The Castle Doctrine in Texas allows you to use lethal force without having to back down without any repercussions. It also extends into your vehicle, but you have to be in your vehicle at the time of use for that to be true unless you are a concealed handgun licensee. Then you can use lethal force whenever your life or anyone else's life is threatened.

Yes, I think you should be able to protect yourself, your family, your belongings by whatever means it takes. If you have to kill an intruder, then so be it. You shouldn't be prosecuted for that in my opinion.

If they are breaking into my house I am going to defend my family no matter what, So I am going to shoot whether that kills them or not. We should not be held accountable for that.

It all depends I guess in the place you live and what you do for a living.

My brothers wife is serving time for killing two intruders in her house. She is in the armed forces and was sentenced because according to the court she is trained to kill. Is that fair no it's not

If someone lurks in your home at night after sneakily breaking in, you have no freaking idea what they're thinking of doing to you and your family. They might have an automatic weapon for all you know.

So, it should be fair game to kill or incapacitate them without prosecution.

But you might be screwed if you go out of your way to do it, and then it turns out to just be some poor homeless kid who wants to eat. Oops...

i say yes i have heard of burglers breking in to a home getting themselves hurt and sue is that right no and if someonewith a gun breaks into our home and lets say tries to rape your child you are a horrible person if you do not stop or kill them

i think that we should be able to shoot intruders because if lots of people do it there will be a bigger threat to invaders which also would decrease crime rate a lot

What the hell just happened? I don't even remember this debate?

If someone breaks into my house, I should have be scared about being sued for deafening myself.
