Louisiana has never had a duty to retreat. The assailant doesn't even need to be all the way in your house. Or facing you. Or armed.

Besides, juries love it when home intruders get shot.

Texas Penal Code

CHAPTER 9. JUSTIFICATION EXCLUDING CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Subchapter B

§ 9.21.

(c) The use of deadly force is not justified under this section unless the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is specifically required by statute or unless it occurs in the lawful conduct of war. If deadly force is so justified, there is no duty to retreat before using it.

That's the way it should be. I would never shoot anyone inside my home if he were just stealing something and not presenting a danger to life.
