Heres the thing, if you value your lifestyle, your job, your family, your house, cars, your financial life, etc, Don't be bent on shooting at people over "stuff". That's why you have insurance, for the "stuff". If you do shoot at or hit someone over stuff and If you do anything wrong in the local prosecutors eyes, you're toast. You could lose everything I mentioned above even if you are proven innocent by a jury. Take some real training, know the local laws backwards and forwards.
Just because you "think" you should be able to protect your stuff, doesn't give you a get out of jail free card.
Police response time story. We took care of a cat a friends house while they were out of town. We go in at 2pm, go to turn off the alarm and my wife had forgotten what the code is. So alarm goes off, house phone rings, it's the alarm call center, I don't know the secret password, they don't believe me, as they shouldn't. We take care of the cat. Call the home owner to tell him what happened get code to turn off alarm. We finish and leave the house. It's been 25 minutes since we set off the alarm. As we are leaving, 1/2 mile down the road we pass a police car heading to the house. This is a semi rural area.
That's why there is a saying, when seconds count, police are only minutes away.
