I'm new here, but I have a similar situation. In my case I'm being stalked by a nut. He looks in my windows any hour of the night. He has tried to get into the house, god only knows how many times. I even had this nut playing hide and seek for two hours early one morning at my bedroom window.
nO it is not legal to shoot him for this. I fear for my life, but he is still outside. If I shot him, I would be charged with murder.
I am prepared if he gets in. I sleep with a haandgun under my pillow every night. still, even if he gets in, I am only justified in shooting him if I cannot get away or am in danger of being attacked, fearing for my life. If he came in and I woke up, he might turn and try to get away. Do I shoot him in the back? NO I do not have just cause in that case. As stated earlier, the law states using deadly force is a last resort.
Believe me, if the law were different, I would have shot this guy. I also live in a rural area in Tioga county. Police won't arrive for maybe a half hour at times. Thats what I know and would do. Hope that helps this fellow.
