Ok, say I'm the guy with the gun. I'm outside and the thieves are within a short distance, they see my gun. Here are two possible scenarios:

A. If they were running away, I wouldn't have fired a shot. Would've just got back on the phone with the cops and would've just told them what direction the thieves were heading and what they looked like. (gender, approx. height/weight, skin color, clothing, etc.)

B. Had they been coming towards me, in a threatening manner, here's what I'd do:

1. I'd Warn them of your intentions if they continue their course of action, if they continued their course I'd fire a warning shot, to let the thieves know the gun is loaded and that I mean business.

2. Next I would point the shotgun at them and give out a final warning.

3. If they're still coming towards me, I'd fire, without the intention of killing. You know like hit them in the legs or something, disable the assailants. If this doesn't work, or a wound shot isn't possible, say they pull a out a gun or they attempt to attack me, lethal force may be necessary at this point.
Obama is a Socialist, racist Muslim who will tax us to death and McCain is a senile warmonger who will start WW3- Failtards.

I miss the old McCain...

"Lawful is the difference between right and wrong."

That's a moral issue, not a lawful issue. For example, I see no problem with people gambling. Yet there are others who would say gambling is wrong. I see no problem with having sex before marriage but some religious people would say that's wrong also. So what I'm reiterating to you is the difference between right and wrong is not a lawful issue but a moral one.

You know if you fire even a warning shot, that warning shot could still end up hitting an innocent person?

True, there is the remote possibility. O.K., the warning shot will be in front of their feet.
