That depends on your state
If you shoot them in the back you go to prison in many states.
If they are running away you go to prison.
Generally you can shoot to protect life and not property. Depends on the state.
But go ahead and go to prison if you wish. Shrug..
So after they go down you roll them over and put another six rounds in the chest.
"I was in fear for my life and just kept shooting. I think after I shot him he was spinning around. I was in fear for my life and it's all just a blur...."
Frankly, I have no intention of letting anyone out alive after they've broken in. If I have to chase them around the house and reload twice, they're going down...
...Anyone who is worried about intruders or having their home broken into should simply invest in better locks, larger strike plates, surveillance cameras, shatter resistant film on windows, alarms, or just a simple sticker you can put on your window that says, "alarm" on it. If someone breaks into your house while you're at work your alarm can even notify you through your phone. These are all affordable options. Leaving your home unprotected and then purchasing a gun is stupid. You can purchase a gun if you want, but the idea is to keep burglars out of your home, not fight them once they get in because you didn't lock the door.
I have all of that, minus the shatter film on the windows and the surveillance cameras. Who are YOU to tell ME what I need or don't need to defend my home and family?

Lol.
When you end up in prison don't whine about it then.
And when the DA presents your post to the jury I'll be laughing for days.

I have something that is even more efficient in home protection in my absence... A girlfriend with a .357. You think you're takin her stuff and get out alive???

I make sure my wife stays proficient with my 1911 .45ACP, as well. Thinking about adding a shotgun for another home defense option. Higher margin of error for stress firing with 00 buckshot.
Nah, I usually have my .45 handy and that's what I'll use.
Again, an AR15 would be far better than your .45 for you and your lady.
