If they come they on your property uninvited, Self defense, under the line of duty

Note that Texas is the only state in which you're inherently allowed to shoot anyone who comes onto your property uninvited, while the remaining 49 states require there to be a series of circumstances in place before the use of lethal force is authorised, such as imminent threat of death, debilitating injury, or rape.

Can you shoot a gun without having your license?

no you cant,it is illegal. That depends on where you are and what the circumstances are. For instance, in the U.S. almost anyone that isn't a felon can go to a shooting range and shoot. That said though, you can't just shoot a gun anywhere you want to, even if you have a permit. A permit only allows you to have the gun on your person (and actually, in a few states, you aren't required to have a permit). But you can only fire the gun under certain circumstances.

If there are 3 people but only 2 have guns which would you shoot first?

none. They are just exercising the second amendment rights. as they should. Unless, they are trying to kill you and you can act in legitimate self defense. Then the answer is subjective. Does the person without a gun have some other type of weapon? How close is that person to you? Under the circumstances, is the person without the gun more of a threat to you? Do the two with guns have a clear line of site to you? Is there cover avaialble? Can you get to it before you get shot?
