A: inside my house without my consent/previous invitation


You walk in the house and find a passed out drunk? 8 year old kid? Obviously disoriented elderly person? Your neighbor who knows where the spare key is and is returning something he borrowed? There are always exceptions.

B: obviously trying to break into/enter my house


Still too broad. I'd lean toward giving the homeowner a lot of leeway under most circumstances, but again, there are always exceptions.

ETA hypothetical: Northern climate, someone is stranded in a blizzard. They break into an empty house to get out of the cold and survive. Owner comes home. Should he be able to kill them without consequence?
