Shoot to Kill?
Following on from the "right to carry firearm" thread. Do all states have different laws regarding self protection?
for example - you have a intruder in the house, you don't know if he is carrying anykind of weapon do you
1. Shoot to kill? if so, are you in the sh!t with the law?
2. Shoot to injure? if so can the bugger sue you for injuries?
3. Pour Vioxx down his throat and hope the bugger has a heart attack?
4. None of the above, but standing bollock naked in the hope that looking like a Yeti would discourage the intruder from there dastardly crimes?

Re: Shoot to Kill?
one guy I spoke to said that if you find an intruder in your house, start firing and DON'T stop till you're sure hes dead
Otherwise you will get sued into bankruptcy
Mind you, the same chap did come up with the classic line:
'after we enslaved the back race for the second time - with welfare'
he was the closest i've come to a nazi....

In Virginia you can't shoot somebody unless they have made it into your house (my wife was on a jury there that convicted a man for shooting an attacker through the (closed) front door). In Noth Carolina you apparently can shoot an intruder on your property, they doon't have to have made it indoors yet, but the same "imminent threat to life" has to apply.

It's not as obvious as you may think...
