LOL... You should have the right...

Just remember to drag them in the house... and say you were in fear for your life.

oh, and make sure they are dead.... only one story that way.

Never even joke about that in public and in most cases private. In a worst case, it could come back to haunt you in court.

That life...

Last time I checked this was still the USA.

Know the law as it applies to defense. Make sure your actions will be seen by the authorities as within the law. Realize that if any part of your story is found to be false, everything is suspect. Drag marks would tend to look kinda bad for you. Be very polite to the police. Don't make any statement without a lawyer. That will irritate the police. Don't let that bother you and continue to be very polite, even friendly and helpful, but be firm about making a statement and keep your mouth shut. Even after electing to not make a statement per Miranda, any statements you make, not in direct response to questions by the police, are admissible. Don't wait to be read Miranda before keeping your mouth shut. When the police show up, show them what they are there for and immediately state that your lawyer has instructed you to not talk to anyone until he/she arrives. The exception would be about any information necessary for the safety of the police or information that might be necessary for effective first aid to anyone in need of help. Miranda only kicks in if you are in "custody" and being questioned. Ask one of our lawyers for the long definition of "custody".

I'm a firm believer in the right to bear arms (I have more than my share but not enough), the right to self protection and the protection of your home and family. I also support the self defense laws of both Fl and Texas. On the other hand, there is no point in doing more than what is necessary in the defense of persons or property, just because you can. Even if your actions are within the law, you have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life. I wouldn't want to have to remember every day for the rest of my life that I maimed or killed a youth that might have been salvagable, if I had other reasonable alternatives. On the other hand, if you break into my house when I'm there, you are not playing good odds.
