Ben might be right.

It is lawful to shoot an intruder that is threatening you or your family with deadly force in the middle of the night, but a thief carrying off your tv is a tresspasser. It is ok to threaten him to put down the property and leave, but unless he pulls out a gun or leaps at you with a knife, I really do not think it would justify blowing him away.

What do you think Jacob and Scott?

Keep in mind, I love firearms. Everyone should have plenty to pass out to their neighbors when the time comes.
