Not illegal in Texas...:celebrateI've always looked at it in simplistic terms.
Lets say you wake up in the middle of the night and notice that at your neighbors house some thieves are breaking into their shed. You go outside with your gun and shoot the robbers. This is blatantly illegal.
Let's you are asleep in bed and you hear noises coming from the edge of your bed. You open your eyes and there is a man dressed in black going through your dresser. You reach for your gun that is right under your bed. Just as you are grabbing the gun the burglar hears this and turns towards you. You immediately draw and place a round in his head.... You have no idea who this person is and therefore have no idea what this person would do next. You therefore fear for your life and safety and act in self defense.
He doesn't have to have a gun. The fact that he is in your home illegally is already a threat to your life and safety.
