I live in Idaho..if you shoot a burglar here..you drink free for a month!I live in two states that says if someone forces their way into your residence or business then their ass is mine. I prefer a Glock 17 though. Easier to clean.
It's called the castle doctrine. Basically, somebody breaks into your house, you have no duty to retreat, and you can take any action necessary to subdue them.
If they were in your garage, you would need to be in a "make my day" law states, which allow lethal force for protection of property, other than one's home.
