Do I have a right to shoot through the door? nothing happened I am just curios if your protected under the castle law doing that.
If it sounds like they are kicking the door in and haven't announced "police search warrant"..etc. you MIGHT be okay. If they are just banging/knocking on the door persistently without identifying themselves or their purpose, then call 911 , position yourself and family in secure/defensive positions. IMHO Never shoot until you can identify that there is a real threat. Once you pull the trigger you can't "un-pull" it.
