Larry, I think it would be very hard to get a jury in the Bootheel to convict a homeowner of shooting someone in their house. I will not hesititate to shoot someone here the Bluff in my house, I guarantee you no one will care.
Now if they are outside and pose no immediate danger that's a different matter, but once they attempt entry or are in, their a$$ is grass....also remember that a lot of what happens in Missouri has to do with who got shot and who did the shooting.
We have had many shootings here in the Ozarks where the police, PA's etc just didn't care.
Other states have different laws.
