It appears to be your legal right. State police investigating robbery after suspect was shot by homeowner in Fayette County - CBS Pittsburgh
State Police were called to a burglar in progress at 11:30 PM, 17 August, in Henry Clay Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
Police arrived at the home to find the suspect had been shot in the face twice by the homeowner.
"It's very strange," said Fayette County DA Mike Aubele. "Thank God the homeowner was armed; this could have been a lot worse."
Henry Clay Township is about 55 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, or about 75 miles by car.
The guy who got shot was airlifted to the trauma center at Ruby Memorial Hospital of the West Virginia University Health System, where he was listed in stable condition.
"He's very lucky. He's very lucky to have survived. Again, it's by the grace of God he's still here," Aubele said.
The DA went on to say:
Everyone deserves to feel safe in their home and take appropriate action to protect their house, protecting their castle.
Self-defense is a human right, and at least in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, it seems to be your legal right.
