You should be allowed to defend yourself and your property however you please and if that means hurting someone then so be it.In Texas (all US states have different laws) you can use "deadly force" to protect your property (ie, stuff in your yard, car, etc) if it is "after dark". You can't shoot someone for breaking into your car in the daytime, but you can at night. (Of course that doesn't mean that you won't be hauled off to jail and threatened with all kinds of legal/civil actions.) Supposedly you can use deadly force to protect the inside of your house at anytime.
When I'm dictator I'll pass a law that says "anyone injured while commiting a crime has NO RECOURSE whatsoever."
