I would strongly suggest that your first course of action would be to phone the Police and explain there is an intruder on your property and listen to any advice you may be given by the call handler as well as ensuring your doors and windows are secured.

Original Answer:

You can BUT MAKE sure the suspected intruder is not there to take readings from the electric,gas,or water meters....however Using a paint ball gun (set on high) would be much more effective than using an airsoft gun..also putting up a locking gate would help as well....

It may not be legal in your state to shoot an intruder with a paint ball gun or airsoft gun however it is not likely that the intruder would go to the police and say that they got shot with a paint ball gun for tresspassing on someones property for criminal purposes...

As already said- not a very good idea. It may be considered assault- and if you have placed a person in fear of their lives, they may be justified in striking back. Defending yourself from fear of serious harm, and popping a trespasser are 2 different matters. A lock on the gate is a good security measure- as is a motion detector floodlight. Mine is wired to a light and a radio.

This all depends on the laws that are in your state. You will want to check the laws before you even purchase an airsoft gun. For the most part though, having an airsoft gun shouldn't be a big deal.

If someone broke into your house could you use an airsoft gun for self protection if you slide behind cover and shoot from behind a wall?

If the question is "would this be legal?" then probably it would be OK. If the question is "would this be smart?" then the answer is certainly no. If the intruder is armed, or even willing to put up with the inconvenience of being shot with an airsoft you would probably be in a world of hurt. The intruder may shoot back with a real gun or may just get angry enough to take the airsoft away from you. Incidentally, 'cover' is something that will stop a bullet. In most homes that is only a brick fireplace or a concrete wall. 'Concealment' is something you can't see through but can shoot through, like the wall of a house, a refrigerator, or the living room drapes.


What type of airsoft gun would be best for self protection an electric gas or spring powered airsoft gun?

Self protection? As in keeping robbers away from your house? I guess i would go with a gas rifle. They are often the most powerful, but are more expensive. If your are looking for home security, an airsoft gun would not be your best bet. I would go with an actual pellet gun or air rifle. Airsoft guns are more for recreation.
