I know that some of you enjoy the legal scenarios, so here's the next one:
You and your wife are relaxing in bed, watching the late news and getting ready to go to sleep. Your trusty Labrador begins barking outside, so you look out of the window. You see that the light is on in your storage shed, which is behind your garage, on the back edge of your yard - just inside the fence. You specifically remember turning that light off the last time you were in the shed, so you suspect foul play.
You grab your Benelli M1 Super-90 12-guage from underneath the bed, and walk out to the shed to investigate what is going on.
Just as you get to the shed, the door opens and two men rush out. You can see that one man is carrying your new Honda generator and the other is empty-handed. You shoot twice, killing the first one and wounding the other.
You hold the wounded man at gun-point while your wife calls the police.
Are you going to jail?
