This article comes from Front Sight, and it's about a guy who "took care of" some burglars robbing his neighbor's house.
This guy is lucky to NOT be in jail! IIRC, he shot two robbers in the back! I don't think you'd get away w/ that in Delaware, whether you were protecting your neighbor's property or not.

Remember: There's a quick and fast line between "justified self defense" and "premeditated manslaughter." And it's all in WHAT you say to the police, 911 operators, etc.... This stuff could be recorded, so those words you say could be the difference between going home to your family, or making a new "family" in jail (where Bubba is your new Daddy!)....
Be safe out there! And watch your mouth. We only shoot to STOP a threat. NOT to kill someone. And we don't shoot them in the back if they're fleeing.
