What Should You Do If an Intruder Breaks Into Your Home and You Have a Gun?

When someone breaks into your house and you have a gun, it’s important to understand the laws regarding the use of firearms in your state.

Although it’s not legal to shoot someone just because they enter your property, homeowners have the legal right to use reasonable force to prevent a crime. If someone intrudes your house and starts a robbery, they are committing a crime. While it is legal to shoot someone breaking into your house, we do not recommend doing so unless you have received professional training in using firearms.

Depending on the circumstances, using a gun may not stop a home invasion or save your life. It’s important to prioritize your safety and seek help from the authorities if possible.
