I live in an open cary state. I have a 9mm Glock and a 12 gage along with a concealed carry permit. I wouldn't be able to legally kill someone in my home unless it was in self defense. In this situation, I'd shoot to scare, or lightly injure a burglar in an effort to detain them until law enforcement arrived. I wouldn't want to shoot to kill an unarmed burger who was running away.
