a lot depends on the laws in your state-when I lived in Texas, if someone
was on your property and advancing toward you that was justification to
kill them. In NC, where I now live, if an intruder is inside your home, you
are within your rights to shoot them without warning, although I think the best advice in the OP's situation is call 911, then wait upstairs to see if the
intruder comes up. I tell women who don't like guns to fire a shot into the ceiling or floor, and see what happens after that.
I deal with inmates as a counselor, and most agree that burglars don't like to enter an occupied dwelling. If someone enters an occupied dwelling, they are most certainly good subjects to be shot.,
