"Like I said, you need to know that he has a weapon."It all depends on the circumstances and jurisdiction of the incident. In general, you need only to fear serious bodily harm to justify homicide of the intruder. Some states may require you to announce your presence or even require you to retreat, but having fulfilled those obligations you can use deadly force to defend yourself."If someone breaks into your home, you can't just shot them on sight"As I stated above, it depends on the circumstances and the jurisdiction of the shooting. If there have been break-ins on your street that lead to violence against the homeowners, that in itself would be justification, in most areas, for shooting a subsequent intruder in your home.In North Carolina, you need only have a reasonable fear that the intruder will commit a felony in your home before you're justified in shooting him.
