You can't get hurt if you don't commit the crime.
You don't have the right to kill someone because they put a bootprint on your step, or even try to jimmy your door.

Even law enforcement doesn't have the legal right to kill someone without specific conditions being met.

While I do think some of the retreat laws on the books in some states are a bit over the top, there is always a common sense test to be applied.
