If someone is at my front door bangning on it really hard kicking as if he wants to get inside. 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.
I personally would not do so. You never really know that you're going to hit the target you want to hit. What if he's standing to the side, and your bullet goes right by him, across the street, into the neighbor's kid's room?
I would like to think that I'd be in a covered and concealed position, inside the door, ready to unload on him as he enters the house. But every situation is different, and I'd be reluctant to pass judgment on someone who did otherwise without knowing all the facts of their situation.
