Even if someone breaks into your house - unless you get attacked, you must not attack the intruder. Just fall back and call the police. Brilliant law... for the thugs.
this is is true I'm my state but not in every state, most states have stand your ground or a castle doctrine. We have a castle doctrine in Massachusets, by law we have to retreat to a safe room if possible. Most homes people scattered through the house and that voids the safe room. At this point deadly force is your last resort and a legal option. On the street I will draw and shoot to save my life, I hope that never happens.
