[Teacher317]

You repeatedly assume that the perp was only after property, making the shooting illegal... you also imply that since it was a business, the break-in was for property, and that if a break-in occurs in a home, the break-in is not for property alone. Poor assumptions, all.

I never assumed that, not once. I responded to a poster who asserted that lethal force in the defense of MERE PROPERTY was warranted. At that point we left the facts of the case at hand and plunged into the world of hypotheticals and statute-parsing.
