If an intruder enters my home, am I legally in my right to shoot him? Does the intruder need to also possess a weapon? What about he doesn't have one, how am I going to know that. Do I need to prove my life was in danger?
In most states you need to show that you were in fear of your own life or your family's life. You should be ok, but if you shoot him in the back you will most likely have some legal problems.
