You have to be careful with using a gun. In some states you have to deal with excessive force laws, which basically say you can be charged for using a gun to stop a crime if your life is not in imminent danger. Some states, like Texas I believe, allow you to shoot to prevent theft and damage to property. Also, as several other people have said previously, make sure everyone in your family knows how to safely shoot and handle a firearm if you keep it in your house. Also make sure that you teach them the exact circumstances under which they should be handling the gun and using it. Also make sure they understand the repercussions of using it: PULL TRIGGER AND SOMETHING DIES OR GETS HURT. That being said, in my humble opinion, I own several guns and IF I FEEL THAT IT'S MY FAMILIE'S OR MY LIFE OR THEIR'S I'LL RESOLVE THE SITUATION AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER. That being said, the knowledge that you have a gun and they think you will use it solves a lot of problems. I'm not a lawyer, just an everyday guy who believes that you should respect other people and what's their's.
Just an aside, in Wisconsin here, they are trying to pass a concealed carry law this year again. We're one of only a few states that bans concealed carry by law.
One other thing, if you have a dog and it attacks someone, even a criminal, you can be held liable for damages done by dog same as with a gun.
