You can legally shoot in all 50 states if someone committed first degree burglary when your home.
Paranoid folks thought that you had to either dress up the perp as Rambo or kneel and prey to Sheela that your ass doesn't get beat or killed. Neither is actually true. Even Chezlaw might know that.
People seem to conflate situations of the 80 year old woman with alzheimers following you into your home when you come home from work as being the same as the dude who entered in with the crowbar through a locked door.
