Remember that there have been no burglaries of occupied homes. Just two that reported being occupied but both were under very suspicious circumstances and never had corrabating proof.
Most home shootings arise from the homeowner hearing a noise, groggily gets his gun, shoots the person and finds it is a family member.
If you actually did shoot a burglar, his family will probably sue you for wrongful death and you will have huge lawyer payments even if you are found innocent.
If you are so afraid, get a professionally installed alarm system with inside and outside 160 db horns and autoconnect to an alarm center. No burglar will stay once the alarm sounds inside and outside the house. He will skedaddle the second the alarm sounds!
