In case you haven't heard of the Castle Doctrine also known as Castle Law..
"Hawaii adopted a castle law in 2010. While the law isn’t as broad as many other states’ castle laws, it removes the duty of residents to retreat when they’re confronted by a criminal inside their home or on their property. The law removes the liability of citizens who use physical or deadly force against criminals who are in the act of committing a list of felonies, including any Class A or Class B felony involving physical violence under Hawaii’s penal code, as well as any felony involving the use of a firearm, involving serious bodily injury or punishable by life in prison. The immunity does not extend to crime victims who are not on their own property."
Also, if you didn't know, home invasion is a Felony, unless its at a party.
