There is no castle doctrine, and you cannot shoot someone for breaking in and stealing your shite.

You can only shoot someone if you are in fear of your life, your life is in immediate danger, or someone else's.

You cannot shoot someone if they beat you, then turn around and leave. Because your life is then no longer in danger.

I would never shoot to kill. lI'd just blow their knee caps off. All you need is a 22.

Yes you can. You can kill somebody if they are breaking into your house. You cannot kill them if they are trying to break into your car (unless you're in the car), driving off with your 4-wheeler, or stealing your weedeater from your shed.

It's open season on anybody in, or attempting to enter, your house.

This is true.
