That is why Texas rules. Here if it is at night, when most people are home sleeping, you can shoot to defend your property. That means if someone is running away with your wive's jewelry you can shoot them for it. These states that require you to abandon your home to the thieve are just plain stupid. You can also defend another person here in Texas. A woman getting raped would be a legal reason to shoot someone.

Robbery is a capitol offense IMO. If you are willing to break into someone's house, while they are there, you are obviously willing to do them harm in an encounter.
