I think the consensus here is that most of the males on the board wouldn't shoot through the door. When women are home alone, the situation is quite different. Here is the story I alluded to earlier:

The woman is not identified by name, but she was 64. I cannot find any indication that she was indicted. Just a tragedy from beginning to end.

I discussed this with my wife, who is 64, and she said, "I probably would do the same thing if I was alone in the house." The bottom line for potential home invaders is that if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person at home, you're fair game - even on the porch.

Ah yes....the old Uncle Joe defense gambit. There are only two acceptable loads for the shotgun: birdshot or Dragon's Breath!

OT...There was a case near here recently where an elderly woman shot through the door and killed a drunken firefighter who was banging on her door at 2:00 in the morning. She warned him repeatedly while on the phone to 911 (IIRC). No charges were filed.
