Hold on now...
Depending on the individual laws of the state where one lives, you may indeed be legally ok in shooting to protect property. Whether or not you would want to is quite another matter altogether. This shooter could turn out to be some mental-health case for all we know. I am sure all of us know or have known at least one or two people who, because of some past action or mental/emotional instability, have no business around firearms. This shooter may be one of those. Some of the 'keyboard commandos' on this board would also seem to qualify, given some of the shoot first/think later bloodthirsty rhetoric that gets posted here.
