I as a non American find it utterly exaggerated and antiquated, to be given the right in using deadly force to protect land or tangible, movable property.
Was there ever a case in which someone used his gun, to prevent another from stealing his land? I would call this war...
Also the commensurability of shooting someone to dead because he has stolen something doesn´t fit.
To protect yourself against mortal danger, is a right I could agree with. Also as jthig32 posted, if someone tries to get in your house trying to steal something or whatever (resp. runs to your direction despite you warning him), I could agree with a shooting too.
In my opinion, this law shouldn´t be for allowing the people to play a police officer, it should only be for protecting your life against offenders.
