Just make sure you know the specifics of the laws in the state you're in and any states you plan to go to. They all vary. In some, you're domicile extends to your car and even your workplace while in others it is only your actual house. From there they vary again in what you're allowed to do based on what the intruder is doing. In some, you're able to assume they intend you harm just by their unlawful presence while in others you'll be required to show that they were being actively violent towards you.I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know/can't cite you the case law but it's a pretty well recognized extension of the Castle doctrine, which is held in all 50 states in the form of actual Castle doctrine laws or Stand Your Ground Laws...

Just know the specifics of the laws of the state you're in and any states you intend to be in. Actually look them up, don't take the word of anyone on what the laws are. Ask LEO's of the areas if you're unsure of where to look. Sheriff's can be a great resource. Just make sure you read the laws and understand them.
