Chuckiechan, I'm afraid the statistics are not in agreement with you.
Many times people HAVE been shot after a warning was issued by homeowners, one comes to mind.
A crack-head broke into 3 houses in a row. On the 3rd the husband awoke, presented a 357 mag and told to halt, the perp charged the weapon, a most final mistake.
I've had several issues where I could have killed and found a way not to kill them. One time a guy charged me with his car, I side-stepped the vehicle and blew the rear tire, he went to jail.
One thing your assertion has in validity, "Be Prepared" to shoot if the agressor does not retreat.
Perhaps in Calif the folks will hesitate, in the deep south we had few home invasions until illegal drug use made robbers 10' Tall and Bulletproof.
