In virtually all of the states a home intruder is considered a deadly threat by itself, so it's perfectly fine to shoot them. Even in super liberal states like New York or California it's perfectly okay to open fire on home intruders.



What do the rules have to do with it? We're talking about violence-centric thinking and making blanket statements that cannot apply to non-uniform societies.

If there are some rules that say it's fine to eat poop, does that mean that everyone now has to constantly eat poop? Probably not. Same applies to all the other "you are allowed to do X" rules. If all we do is parrot what someone else wrote at some other time in some other context, we'll just get nowhere and stay in limbo forever.


I'm missing the point you're trying to make.
