The whole point of the ability to defend your property is to protect yourself against unknown danger. If someone's breaking into your house then you can fire away, without have to first figure out whether this guy is there to take your tv or rape your wife.

And that's cool. I 100% support that.

However, the freedom to see someone breaking into someone else's house, grab your shotguen, go outside, tell the burgulars to freeze, and then shoot them as they run away is really, really pushing it. That's very close to frontier justice.
should you not be able to stop someone who is stealing your stuff?
