Even states with the castle doctrine do not allow you to kill someone for stealing.
You are only allowed to use lethal force if yours or another persons life is in imminent and immediate danger and you better be able to prove it!
I could go on and on about this issue but to sum it up, even if justified be prepared for a six figure defense fund if you kill someone. You want to do everything you can to NOT pull the trigger.
I highly recommend to anyone who doubts this to take an NRA certified home defense course. It will be the best money you ever spent and will teach you how to protect your home and what the legal repercussions are if you are in a situation where you have no choice to defend yourself and your family with your firearm.
Heaven forbid any of us are ever put in that situation.

along with the castle doctrine there is "stand your ground" which also includes your vehicle, and also, isn't the perp still alive, therefore why are u saying the castle doctrine doesn't give you the right to kill someone, whether it does or does not, no one was killed so that doesnt even play in. You sir are like the people who defend the killer of trayvon martin. saying that these defense tactics work/ dont work even when it has nothing to do with that.
