When is murder justified by self-defense?

If me or my kids are in danger, I would do whatever it takes. If someone breaks into my house they are done. Honestly whether that person intends to harm us is irrelevant to me. Said person doesn't deserve the air they are breathing.

For your own good, I hope no one ever breaks into hour house. If you killed a regular burglar, I doubt you'd have an easy time justifying that. And I believe in most countries you wouldn't even be able to get away with it at all.

That might have been a tad harsh of me. While I don't believe a burglar presents any value to the world I wouldn't kill them unless i felt my family was endangered. If I heard a noise in my house in the middle of the night and walked into let's say the kitchen to see someone looking through stuff I'm not gunna ask politely for them to leave. They are gunna get the shit beat out of them. If I am armed I would probably warn him to put his hands up but if I cannot see there hands and I thing they may have a gun I will not warn him. I'll shooter in the leg or something if I can. If there are 2 or more people probably have to shoot automatically, legs if I can help it. If they have guns obviously shoot to kill. Like I said tho how hostile I am depends on how threatened I am.

 and funny enough I have been broken into before. Some guy fresh out of jail walked right into my house before. I roughed him up a bit and sat on him while the cops came. A homeless dude tried to come into my hotel room once. I woke up to him swiping at the lock(the kind that lets ur door open a few inches to see who it is) with a stick. He lucky enough to just get a shove.
