That's the beauty of the US. Here in the O'l U. S. of A (in most states--not sure if in all) if an intruder enters your home by force and is a threat to you and your family, you can shoot them dead. Of course there are some limitations to that. Example if you shoot them once and seriously hurt them to the point as they're no longer considered a threat, and then shoot them again, it is considered excessive force. If the person dies as a result then manslaughter charges apply. Basically make sure the first shot does the job
