Can you shoot trespassers in Delaware?

Answer 1

You can never shoot for trespassing. Until and unless there is a threat against you, deadly force is illegal and immoral.

Answer 2

In Delaware, the use of deadly force is generally only justified in self-defense situations where there is a reasonable belief of an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. The Castle Doctrine, which allows the use of deadly force to protect oneself in their home, does not extend to shooting trespassers. It is advisable to contact law enforcement and let them handle trespassing situations.
