In many states...if not most states...one cannot legally defend ones property. One is usually only allowed to defend ones self if one is being attacked...or another person that is under attack...and in most states one must retreat if retreat is possible before one is allowed to legally defend ones self. In addition in many states...if not most states...one can only meet force with similar or equal force. In other words one can only use deadly force if confronted with deadly force...and this inculdes someone breaking into your home.
