"...then until the point that they are clearly not a threat to me and my family"

Here we agree, beyond this point, don't shoot, but if you do, I wish you luck.

I live on acreage in rural America.

As I stated, it's quite difficult legally to shoot at criminals who are quite some distance away, as they present no immediate threat.

Shoot people who are no immediate threat and the legal consequences will be dire for the shooter.

My point: Criminals at a distant remove (who aren't snipers of course...) aren't generally a threat to life and limb, therefore you can't justifiably shoot them.
