I suspect if you shoot someone trying to rob you, you'll probably get off, but it will cost you 10's of thousands of dollars and wreck several years of your life.
I don't know this for a fact, but I'd guess if you use deadly force to protect yourself outside your home you will put yourself in a position where you need to justify it in court. That is not likely to be easy or cheap.
Blowing the head off some 18 yo kid who wants your wallet to feed his Percocet habit is probably frowned upon once tempers have cooled. Better to give him your rod and go steal Paul's.
