so if im out to eat, and i pull up in my driveway, and i see some guy running out my front door with my new tv in his arms, people in this thread are saying i cant cap this dude? am i taking crazy pills?
My opinion? I threaten to shoot to stop him. Whether he advances in me, retreats, or just stops is up to him, and determines my next course of action.

But if the burglar doesn't present a threat to your life (real or perceived) you're going to be put in cuffs and end up in jail.
If he's shot in the front, I'm not concerned. I've never seen a dead man testify.

You never know who is watching, who is near, who has a smartphone running, which neighbors security cam caught the confrontation. Maybe the only witness says the burglar had his hands up before you shot? (remember Michael Brown)
It's a pretty big gamble in my book if you aren't damn sure you are being threatened. People can and do end up doing time in these situations.
I sure as hell wouldn't risk my freedom for a TV.
