If someone kicks my door in then this means they began breaking laws minutes before them actually getting to my door. It started with breaking and entering at my gate/ fence. Then they continued breaking the laws coming down my drive or pasture. Then kicking in my door. So if they got lucky somehow and didn't get shot at the door, then until the point that they are clearly not a threat to me and my family, meaning they have left my property and are moving quickly down the road, they will be shot at.
Unfortunately for the bad guys trying this is the guy that owns the property across the road from me doesn't like bad guys either and will most likely be meeting them half way down my drive after hearing my shots fired and yelling he hears. Hopefully the bad guys are smart enough not to have guns drawn.
I know it sounds like crazy talk but really it about illusion. You make the bad guys think your crazy and they will not return.
