Scripture speaks clearly on this subject.

Exodus 22:2-3 - "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed."
Judicial law is expired. That was just for God's chosen nation.

Anyone care to take a crack at the general equity of that one?
Yeah: If a thief breaks into your house at night, you have the right to use lethal force to defend yourself and your property. If it is day light, you don't have the right to use lethal force if he is only stealing.
