| My understanding of Indiana castle doctrine is that an individual inside your home, while in the commission of a crime has no legal recourse against the homeowner for any injuries sustained while in commission of that crime.
Kirk can correct me if my understanding of that is wrong, but I take that to mean if he cuts his arm off while trying to punch through my sliding glass doors he can't sue me for the injuries he sustains. I'd imagine being shot in self defense by the home owner is the same.
That said, I'm going to Shoot to Stop the person. Which means center mass, with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with OO buckshot if at all possible, or one or more shots with a 9mm until he's no longer doing something I deem threatening to myself or my family.
