In the Commonwealth of Goltzborg, if anyone's home is being invaded by any un-welcomed individual, the residents can not 'legally' defend themself until such time that the un-welcomed individual actually enters the premises.
One can attempt to scare away the un-welcomed indidivual, and can phone for the police; however, the residents can not, under any circumstances, kill the home invader *until* the home invader has actually crossed a threshold of the property...i.e...window or door of the dwelling, but not an external fence or gate.
Of course, it goes without saying, all that one has to do....would be to kill the home invade as soon as one felt his or her life to be threatened, and then drag the home invader thru the door.
( provided that forensics and detective investigations do not detect any breach of the law )
Do the laws of your nation protect home invaders in the same fashion as done in Goltzborg; or are your citizens allowed to 'legally' defend themselfs and their property from such acts of aggression ?
