Can’t shoot somebody to stop theft.

Sure you can. It's illegal and will get you 10 years. But you can do it.

Depends on the State and situation. Some States allow it.

Let me know how many years of legal hell you’re willing to go through over a car.

“Some States allow it.”

One state does but there are many conditions that apply before you can legally shoot the dude. It takes a little study to wade through all their legalize.
