How can you justify shooting someone who is running away from you? I guess if he is still shooting at you (remember the old Westerns with the good guy being chased on horseback and shooting at the bad guys chasing him?), but I think that's pretty unlikely. Even if it did happen, you'd be better off to get behind cover. Self-defense is not going to be a legal defense if you're not threatened.

I know what the law says about shooting someone to prevent them from taking your property, but there's nothing on our property--except our lives--that I would shoot somebody to prevent them from taking it.
