If someone comes into my house looking to steal shit, I would much rather have them take whatever they want and leave without it having to get violent. Nothing I own is irreplaceable. While I own a gun, I think violence should still be the last option if that person is solely there to steal items. Threaten me or my family and it is a much different story.

The problem is, when they come in, you don't know what they're after.

There really isn't a simple answer as to how to best handle the situation.

Come through a locked door in NC and you are bought and paid for no matter what your intentions are..

You have No duty to retreat

And IMO it's your right to handle it in such a manner. But...

1. Not everyone is capable of taking another human life
2. The law doesn't always necessarily agree with you

You can always hold the gun on them and call the police to handle the situation.

Castle Doctrine


"Castle laws" remove the duty to retreat before using deadly force when one is in their home or in some U.S. states just simply where one can legally be.[6]
