Not in the UK, you don't.


"Anthony Edward Martin (born 1944) is a farmer from Norfolk, England,
who in 1999 killed one burglar, and wounded another, who had invaded
his home. He was subsequently convicted of murder. As a result, he
became a cause célèbre for some, and polarised opinions in the UK"


Bad example, back-shooting burglars who are attempting to flee doesn't
qualify as self-defense.


You can be sure the *******s won't be around to threaten again.
