If they come through my closed gate (a very definite “stay out” signal here in Texas), past my dogs, and kick in my door, there will be no questions asked on my part, as the invader has already answered them by his actions. I’m not going to worry about him seeing my face- I’m going to protect my family. I also wouldn’t worry about prosecution under such circumstances...
Yeah, I don’t own anything I would kill a sumbish for.
But if they break into my home, I am prepared to fight.
