1. I agree with.
2. No warning shots, only lethal ones. If you fire a warning shot and then need to neutralize the intruder, the jury is NOT going to be very forgiving.
3. NEVER shoot to wound, shoot to kill the intruder. The prosecutor will twist the situation in every direction he can to get another conviction under his belt.
As for the refusal to kill in defense of your life, have fun trying to keep it up.
