Actually I have confirmed it with more than one police officer. If someone is physically in your home you have the right to protect yourself. That includes shooting them. The fact that they broke into your home is proof enough they meant you harm.

Now maybe it makes a difference that I am female and a respected member of my community.

I don't know if it matters that this is the south or not. Out in the country you have to take care of threats on your own.

One of the people who told me this was the chief of police at the time.
