you can legally attack the burglar with a weapon such as a gun. Try not to kill the burglar. you can depend your property because your home is your castle.Dont try nothing stupid if is the police or something like that.
This varies by the jurisdiction. If you live somewhere that takes the castle doctrine seriously, anyone breaking into your house represents a lethal threat and you may use deadly force to defend yourself, your family, and your property. In other places, you may have to wait until he has actually attacked (hopefully not killed) you before you can respond with ANY force. And worst of all, some 'enlightened societies' insist that you attempt to escape and can use force only if you are unable to leave the scene. Well, maybe even worse, in some places it is possible that YOU could be arrested for displaying a firearm!
