I know I am from Texas and we have a reputation down here and all, but if someone I don't know comes into my house, and I have made it clear that he needs to leave or be shot, and he keeps advancing towards me. I am aiming center-mass and double tapping him. Most people who are shot are shot with their own gun because they tried to find another way other than shoot. NEVER try subduing an intruder in your home!

The last thing I want to have to do is shoot someone but I will if they leave no other choice. If I lived in a state that said I had to run out of my own house rather than protect it, I WOULD MOVE. That is unbelievable.

As far as "stopping" rather than "killing" goes, I promise if you hit a man center mass with a .45 he will stop. In the interview you should use the words "I was trying to stop him" and not "trying to kill him".

Just remember there are no do overs. I would rather take the chance of spending some time than costing any of my family members their life.
