1.) committing certain violent crimes 2.) unlawfully trying to enter a protected place or, 3.) unlawfully trying to remove a person from a protected place.
The law also provides civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses deadly force in the above circumstances.Comment -

not sure but in Kentucky, you CANT shoot somebody if they aren't using deadly force. (you can't bring a gun to knife fight)Comment -
JJ, Watch this. AWESOME

no way this can be true or everyone would be shooting anyone they don't like. if you shoot someone walking on the sidewalk, and then you say he was on your lawn, then how can you prove it? there are no witnesses. it's so easy to say he was on my lawn and then shoot him. if i saw some guy i didn't like from high school walking in front of my house, and i shot him and said he was on my lawn, you're telling me i won't get arrested?
no wayComment -
One of the few cases of justifiable homicide....killing someone who breaks into your house. They are fair gameComment -
AMEN
Police initially identified the dead men in Horn's yard as 38-year-old Miguel Antonio DeJesus and Diego Ortiz, 30, both of Houston of Afro Latino descent. However, DeJesus was actually an alias of Hernando Riascos Torres, 38.[3] They were carrying a sack with more than $2,000 cash and jewelry taken from the home. Both were convicted criminals from Colombia who had entered the country illegally, and were members of an organized burglary ring in Houston.[1] Police found a Puerto Rican identification card on Ortiz while Torres had three identification cards from Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, and had been previously sent to prison for dealing cocaine and was deported in 1999.[6]Comment -
Exactly.
Unless you are in Texas.
In Texas anything goes. Do you remember Joe Horn? He shot and killed 2 guys that were on his neighbors property (robbery) that were no thread to him. He was on the phone with 911 and they told him not to shoot. Joe horn shot and killed both of them with a shot gun. He got off.

9-1-1 Call Transcript
One vital piece of evidence were segments of Mr. Horn’s 9-1-1 calls which could have possibly incriminated Mr. Horn or shown his innocence. The most scrutinized segment is presented below:
Joe Horn: “I’ve got a shotgun; do you want me to stop them?”
The Pasadena emergency operator responded: “Nope. Don’t do that. Ain’t no property worth shooting somebody over, O.K.?”
Mr. Horn said: “But hurry up, man. Catch these guys will you? Cause, I ain’t going to let them go.”
Mr. Horn then said he would get his shotgun.
The operator said, “No, no.” But Mr. Horn said: “I can’t take a chance of getting killed over this, O.K.? I’m going to shoot.”
The operator told him not to go out with a gun because officers would be arriving.
“O.K.,” Mr. Horn said. “But I have a right to protect myself too, sir,” adding, “The laws have been changed in this country since September the first, and you know it.”
The operator said, “You’re going to get yourself shot.” But Mr. Horn replied, “You want to make a bet? I’m going to kill them.”
Moments later he said, “Well here it goes, buddy. You hear the shotgun clicking and I’m going.”
Then he said: “Move, you’re dead.”
There were two quick gunshots, then a third, and the 9-1-1 call ended.
“I had no choice,” Mr. Horn said when he got back on the line with the dispatcher. “They came in the front yard with me, man.” [1]Comment -
