You can shoot when defending yourself or others, but you can't shoot someone just because they are committing burglary. Context matters


Know what matters more? Knowing the actual laws. Quite a few states do indeed mention burglary and other types of robberies as situations where armed self-defense is justified. Maybe you should share Trevon's love of learning sometime.

This is only available if you are physically in the dwelling, vehicle, or place of employment that the crime is being committed upon. There is a big difference in that, and driving up to your house getting out of your car and shooting the burglar.

You seem angry and dumb. A bad combination.

No one ever said you can't defend yourself from a burglar. Only that you can't shoot a burglar when that burglar poses no threat to you or anyone else. If you came home from work one day and found someone who just robbed you dangling from a window you can't chuckle to yourself and then shoot them to death. If you do expect some criminal charges.
