Most places I've read of here you actually need to be threatened with physical harm on your property before you can legally use deadly force on the intruder. That's a big part of why the guy that popped the kids in his back yard raiding his outdoor grow didn't get away with it. They weren't coming into his house (he was inside, watching from second floor window) or threatening him.
